Travel vaccinations
for Saudi Arabia.
Whether you’re travelling for Hajj, Umrah, business or leisure, Saudi Arabia has a specific, legally required vaccine for entry: meningitis ACWY, needed at least 10 days before arrival. Our GPhC-registered pharmacist provides a full pre-travel health assessment, your recommended vaccines and your certificate in a single visit.
What you need before you travel to Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia requires proof of meningitis ACWY vaccination from all pilgrims travelling for Hajj or Umrah, and it’s also recommended for other travellers for personal protection. The certificate must show the vaccine was given at least 10 days before arrival, and is generally valid for up to 5 years. This isn’t a formality to leave until the last minute, given the compulsory nature of the requirement for pilgrimage travel.
Malaria risk in Saudi Arabia is very limited, generally confined to specific rural southwestern areas, so tablets aren’t usually needed for typical business, leisure or pilgrimage travel. Hepatitis A and typhoid are recommended for most travellers due to food and water hygiene, and routine boosters are worth checking given the crowded conditions typical of Hajj and Umrah.

A compulsory entry requirement for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims, and recommended for other travellers. Certificate provided.
Recommended for most travellers due to food and water hygiene risks.
