Why Get the Meningitis ACWY Vaccination?
Every year, millions of people travel to Saudi Arabia for Hajj or Umrah. These large gatherings increase the risk of infections, so Saudi health authorities have strict vaccination rules in place.
Our travel vaccine clinic helps you meet all entry requirements and gives you protection from serious diseases that may spread in crowded areas.
We’ll guide you through the vaccine schedule, costs, and certificates needed to ensure a smooth and safe journey.
Do I Need Hajj & Umrah Vaccination Services?
Yes. If you are travelling to Saudi Arabia for pilgrimage, you must get certain vaccines, and others are strongly recommended for your health and safety.
At Townsend Pharmacy, we offer:
- Meningitis ACWY vaccine, which is mandatory for all pilgrims
- Flu vaccine, which is recommended, especially for older adults, pregnant women, and those with long-term health issues
- MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella), which is recommended to stop the spread of infection in large gatherings
- Yellow fever vaccine, which is mandatory for travellers coming from countries where yellow fever exists
- Advice on certificates needed for visa approval and entry
- Information on possible side effects and booster requirements
Our expert team ensures you are fully prepared before your departure.
How Do Hajj & Umrah Vaccines Work?
The meningitis vaccine protects you from a fast-spreading bacterial infection common in crowded places. It is required to get your travel visa and must be taken at least 10 days before travelling.
The flu vaccine helps protect against seasonal influenza that can spread quickly during pilgrimage. It is especially useful for people who are more likely to get seriously ill.
The MMR vaccine protects against measles and rubella, both of which are highly contagious. If you are unsure about your childhood vaccinations, our pharmacist can help check if you need a booster.

When Should I Visit a Travel Vaccination Clinic?
It is best to visit our travel clinic at least 3 to 4 weeks before your journey. The meningitis vaccine must be given at least 10 days before travel to be accepted for visa approval.
