Hajj is the largest annual pilgrimage in the world where millions of people will be gathered in a limited geographical area. In order to stay healthy during the trip, It is essential that pilgrims should take vaccination against seasonal influenza and meningococcal meningitis.
yes , the health authority of each country should make strict vaccination programs before travelling
Also, Visit the doctor early before travelling for advice and guidance
I agree with your comment Dr Mahmoud , All pilgrims should be up-to-date with routine immunizations
Do not forget Children up to 15 years of age must show proof of vaccination with quadrivalent meningococcal vaccine and polio vaccine.
And Children older than 15 years of age have the same vaccination requirements as adults.
Current Hajj vaccination requirements are available from the following sources:
Saudi Arabian Ministry of Health (http://www.moh.gov.sa/en/Hajj/Pages/HealthRegulations.aspx)
Saudi Arabian Embassy (www.saudiembassy.net/services hajj_requirements.aspx)
Different health problems may occur if they don’t take preventative methods like vaccination.
