( PHCC- Qatar ) urges pilgrims to take vaccinations ahead of Hajj season


Doha, Qatar: The Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC) has urged Hajj pilgrims to ensure they are healthy and fully prepared to embark on pilgrimage season.

This comes through adherence to instructions and directives, in addition to identifying the potential health problems they could be exposed to during pilgrimage, namely physical stress, or other kinds of health risks, PHCC said, adding that it has alerted all pilgrims, especially the sick ones to get vaccinated prior to their departure, pointing to the potential increase of infectious diseases during Hajj which requires raising their awareness of health risks and take all necessary precautions in this regard.
