Hajj & Umrah Vaccination Clinic in Bow, London E3

Embarking on the sacred pilgrimages of Hajj or Umrah is a monumental spiritual milestone. To ensure your journey is safe and complies fully with the entry regulations of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, taking care of your health requirements early is vital. At Parnell Pharmacy on Roman Road, we provide a dedicated Hajj and Umrah vaccination service in Bow, London E3 to protect you and your loved ones in crowded environments.

Mandatory Meningitis ACWY Vaccine & Certificate

To obtain your visa for Hajj or Umrah, the Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia requires all pilgrims over the age of 2 to present valid proof of vaccination against meningococcal meningitis.

  • The Vaccine: We administer the Meningitis ACWY vaccine, which protects against four strains of meningitis bacteria (A, C, W, and Y).
  • The Certificate: Upon vaccination, our pharmacist will issue an official, stamped certificate of vaccination.
  • Timing: You must receive the vaccine at least 10 days before arriving in Saudi Arabia. The certificate is valid for 3 to 5 years depending on the vaccine brand used.

Highly Recommended Vaccines for Pilgrims

Due to the millions of people gathering from all corners of the globe, viral transmissions increase significantly during the pilgrimage seasons. Our clinical team in Bow / Mile End recommends considering additional protection:

  • Flu (Influenza) Vaccine: Respiratory infections are the most common health complaints during Hajj. An annual flu jab keeps your immune system guarded.
  • Hepatitis A & B: Critical for food, water, and blood-borne hygiene safety while abroad.
  • Typhoid: Protects against contaminated food and water supplies in highly congested environments.
