What is Meningitis?
Meningitis is a severe infection of the meninges, the protective membranes surrounding the brain. Without prompt treatment, it can cause serious damage to the nervous system and even lead to fatal blood poisoning (sepsis).
During the 2000/01 Hajj season, a major meningitis outbreak occurred. Since 2002, the meningitis ACWY vaccine has been mandatory for all pilgrims.
Meningitis ACWY Vaccine Certificate
Upon receiving your meningitis ACWY vaccine at The Olton Pharmacy, we will provide you with a certificate of vaccine administration. This is required for entry into Saudi Arabia for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims and seasonal workers. Please ensure the details you provide match those in your passport.
