Preparing for Hajj or Umrah is a profound spiritual milestone, but fulfilling the mandatory health and visa requirements set by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a critical step in your journey. Among these requirements, obtaining the Meningitis ACWY vaccine in London is essential for all pilgrims.

To protect hundreds of thousands of pilgrims gathering in close proximity, Saudi health authorities mandate proof of vaccination against quadrivalent meningococcal disease (serogroups A, C, W, and Y). Without an official certificate, visa applications cannot be processed, and entry into Saudi Arabia will be denied.

Mandatory Visa Requirements & Certificate Issuance

  • Vaccine Timing: The Meningitis ACWY vaccine must be administered at least 10 days prior to arriving in Saudi Arabia to ensure adequate immunity, and no more than 3 to 5 years prior (depending on the specific conjugate vaccine administered).
  • Official Stamped Certificate: Pilgrims must present an official certificate of vaccination. At Chana Chemist, our clinicians issue your physical, official-stamped proof of vaccination immediately following your appointment.
  • Same-Day Service: We maintain continuous stock of quadrivalent meningitis vaccines across our travel clinics, offering same-day appointments and instant documentation to keep your travel plans on track.
