🇸🇦 Hajj & Umrah Travel Vaccines — Official Meningitis ACWY Certificate in Doncaster & Newark

Travelling to Saudi Arabia for Hajj or Umrah? Before your pilgrimage, you must receive the mandatory Meningitis ACWY vaccine and present a valid certificate for your visa application.

At our Holden’s Travel Clinics in Doncaster (DN5) and Newark (NG24), we are a NaTHNaC-registered Yellow Fever & travel vaccination centre, officially authorised to issue Meningitis ACWY certificates that meet all Saudi Embassy and Ministry of Health requirements.

Unlike many unregistered providers, our certificates are globally recognised and fully compliant — ensuring smooth visa processing and stress-free travel.

🕋 Mandatory Hajj & Umrah Vaccine (Seasonal Requirement)

The Hajj season typically falls between June and July, while Umrah can be performed throughout the year. All pilgrims must provide proof of a valid, up-to-date Meningitis ACWY vaccination administered within the last 5 years.

• Meningitis ACWY (Menveo or Nimenrix) — required for all pilgrims.
• Certificate issued immediately after your appointment — valid for 5 years.
• Accepted by Saudi Embassies, visa services, and airlines.
• Vaccine administered by UK-registered pharmacists in a clinical environment.

💡 Our certification is recognised by NaTHNaC and the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), giving you complete confidence when submitting your visa application.

💉 Recommended Vaccines for Hajj & Umrah Travellers

While Meningitis ACWY is the only vaccine legally required for entry, several other vaccines are strongly recommended due to close contact, shared accommodation, and high infection risk during pilgrimage.

• Hepatitis A — Food and water hygiene can vary during group travel.
• Typhoid — Protects against contaminated food or drink.
• DTP Booster (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Polio) — Check your 10-year booster is current.
• Influenza — Highly recommended due to crowd density.
• Hepatitis B — Advised for longer stays or if undergoing medical or dental procedures.
