21st October 2009 - Vaccination reminder for Hajj pilgrims (WoL)
WalesOnline, 21/09/2009
Pilgrims going on Hajj from South Wales are being warned that they will not be permitted to enter the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia without a valid inoculation certificate for meningitis. This means they must have been inoculated within the last three years. "Travellers will need to have had the “quadrivalent” meningococcal vaccine – ACWY vaccine – at least 10 days before leaving for Saudi Arabia. This vaccine protects against strains A, C, W135 and Y and is available from GP surgeries or travel clinics. Once vaccinated, protection in adults lasts for about three years."
