- Hajj and Umrah Vaccine
Performing Hajj or Umrah is a deeply spiritual experience, but it also requires essential health precautions to ensure a safe and smooth pilgrimage. At FirstContact Pharmacy, we provide a complete Hajj and Umrah vaccination service, ensuring that you meet all the necessary health regulations set by the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Health. With millions of pilgrims gathering in close proximity, the risk of infectious disease transmission is significantly high. Proper vaccination is mandatory and serves as a vital layer of protection against preventable illnesses. Our expert team ensures that you are fully vaccinated and compliant with travel requirements, giving you peace of mind as you embark on your journey.
Book An Appointment NowThe Saudi Arabian government requires all Hajj and Umrah travellers to receive the Meningitis ACWY vaccine at least 10 days before travel. This vaccine protects against four strains of meningococcal bacteria (A, C, W, and Y) that can cause severe infections, especially in crowded environments like pilgrimage sites.
At FirstContact Pharmacy, we provide the Meningitis ACWY vaccine, along with an official vaccination certificate, which is a compulsory document for visa approval. Our team ensures that you receive the vaccine in compliance with international travel health standards, making your visa application process smooth and stress-free.
In addition to the Meningitis ACWY vaccine, certain other vaccines are strongly recommended for Hajj and Umrah travellers. These include:
Seasonal Flu Vaccine – To protect against influenza, which spreads easily in crowded environments.
Hepatitis A & B Vaccines – To prevent viral liver infections transmitted through contaminated food, water, or close contact.
Typhoid Vaccine – To safeguard against foodborne diseases.
Pneumococcal Vaccine (PPV/PCV) – Recommended for individuals at higher risk of respiratory infections, including the elderly and those with underlying health conditions.
COVID-19 Vaccine – Recommended to minimise the risk of severe illness during travel and mass gatherings.
Ensure a safe and healthy pilgrimage by getting vaccinated at FirstContact Pharmacy. Our expert team is here to guide you through the process, provide the necessary immunisations, and issue your required vaccination certificate.
