Pilgrims Urged to Get Vaccinated for Safe and Healthy Hajj Season


The Ministry of Health issued a statement urging domestic pilgrims to get vaccinated before embarking on this year's Hajj, to ensure a safe and healthy experience for all.


According to the ministry, domestic pilgrims should have one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine administered in 1445 AH (2023-2024), one dose of the seasonal influenza vaccine administered in the same year, and one dose of the meningococcal vaccine administered within the past five years.

The ministry said these vaccinations are readily available at primary healthcare centers throughout the Kingdom. Local pilgrims can conveniently schedule appointments through the Sehhaty app.
