If you are preparing for Hajj or Umrah, one of the most important steps in your journey is ensuring you have the correct travel vaccinations. Saudi Arabia requires all pilgrims to receive the Meningitis ACWY vaccination, and without it, travellers can be denied entry.
At Biscot Pharmacy in Luton, we provide fast, safe and convenient Hajj & Umrah vaccinations, along with the official certificate required for travel.
Why Is the Meningitis ACWY Vaccine Required?
Large gatherings such as Hajj and Umrah increase the risk of meningococcal disease spreading. To protect pilgrims, the Saudi Ministry of Health requires all travellers to be vaccinated with ACWY (quadrivalent) vaccine before entering the country.
This applies to:
- First-time pilgrims
- Repeat pilgrims
- Adults
- Teenagers
- Children (age-specific guidelines apply)
The vaccine is valid for 5 years.
Which Vaccinations Do I Need for Hajj & Umrah?
✔ Required:
Meningitis ACWY (ACWY135) — Mandatory for entry into Saudi Arabia
✔ Recommended (depending on health & travel conditions):
- Seasonal flu vaccine
- Covid-19 vaccine (strongly advised)
- Hepatitis A (recommended depending on itinerary)
Our travel pharmacist will advise you based on your health needs.
When Should I Get Vaccinated Before Hajj or Umrah?
You should receive the Meningitis ACWY vaccine at least 2–3 weeks before travelling to allow your certificate to be processed and your immunity to develop.
However, if you are travelling soon, we also offer same-day and last-minute appointments at Biscot Pharmacy.
Do I Need a Certificate for Hajj and Umrah?
Yes. After your vaccination, we will issue an official ACWY certificate, which must be presented during visa application and at immigration.

- Official certificates
- Stamp/signature
- Batch number documentation
Everything required for travel.
