Embarking on the sacred journeys of Hajj and Umrah is a deeply spiritual experience for Muslims around the globe. To ensure the safety and well-being of pilgrims, health authorities, in accordance with global health standards, recommend certain vaccinations as essential prerequisites. These measures are vital in safeguarding both the pilgrims and the communities they return to, reducing the potential health risks that arise from large congregations.

Mandatory Vaccination Requirement for Hajj and Umrah

Pilgrims journeying from Singapore to Saudi Arabia for Hajj or Umrah are required to receive three mandatory vaccinations: the Meningococcal ACWY vaccine, the influenza (flu) vaccine, and the COVID-19 vaccine.

1. Meningococcal ACWY Vaccine

The Meningococcal/Meningitis ACWY vaccine is a mandatory requirement set by the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Health. It provides protection against four strains of the Neisseria meningitidis bacteria: A, C, W, and Y, which can lead to severe meningitis and septicemia, especially in densely populated environments.

Timing: Must be administered at least 10 days prior to departure.

2. Flu Vaccine

The flu vaccine is highly recommended for all pilgrims, as the close contact with others from around the world during Hajj and Umrah significantly increases the risk of influenza transmission. While influenza symptoms may be mild, severe cases can impede the ability to perform Hajj and Umrah rituals and may also lead to serious respiratory complications. Given the contagious nature of the flu, vaccination not only protects the individual but also helps prevent the spread of the virus to others.

Timing: Must be received within 12 months of your travel date.

3. COVID-19 Vaccine

COVID-19 vaccination is a mandatory requirement for pilgrims and plays a crucial role in lowering the risk of serious complications and reducing transmission within the pilgrimage community. Travellers must fulfill one of the following conditions:

  • Received a single dose of the updated COVID-19 vaccine formulated for the 2024–2025 period
  • Completed the initial COVID-19 vaccination series
  • Recovered from a COVID-19 infection in 2024, with lab-based confirmation

If you are uncertain about your current vaccination status or whether you qualify, it’s best to consult a doctor 4 to 6 weeks before your departure. A healthcare professional can help assess your vaccination needs, advise on preventive treatments, and provide personalised travel health recommendations.

Additionally, it is advisable to bring both printed vaccination certificates and digital proof (available through Singapore’s HealthHub app) for verification at Saudi Arabian border entry points.
