Saudi Arabia has announced that the meningitis vaccine will be mandatory for all pilgrims participating in Hajj 2025. The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah confirmed that proof of immunization will be a prerequisite for registration, ensuring a safer pilgrimage for millions.
Given the massive gatherings during Hajj, the risk of infectious diseases is high. The new measure aims to prevent outbreaks and protect public health. Officials emphasized that no vaccination means no Hajj, urging all intending pilgrims to comply.
This decision is part of Saudi Arabia’s broader commitment to enhanced health protocols for the pilgrimage. Pilgrims are advised to check with their local health authorities to ensure timely vaccination.
