MOROEVER. Last week, Saudi Arabia announced more strict health protocols for Umrah pilgrims in 2025, which require mandatory vaccines to guarantee public health and the safety of millions of faithful.
The Saudi civil aviation authority notified that pilgrims should be vaccinated against meningococcal meningitis, polio, yellow fever, COVID-19 and seasonal influenza.
The regulations also stipulate that all international visitors should receive the meningitis vaccine, while those traveling from regions affected by polyomyelitis, such as Pakistan, Nigeria and Afghanistan, must also receive the polyomyelitis vaccine.
In addition, pilgrims who arrive from Angola, Nigeria, Brazil and Congo will need yellow fever vaccines. The recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) for COVID-19 and flu vaccines are now mandatory. Pilgrims are also recommended to complete vaccines for tetanus, measles and other diseases.
The civil aviation authority urges all pilgrims to carry documents related to health, including vaccination certificates, throughout their trip. The authorities also advise pilgrims with chronic health conditions that bring medical documentation and sufficient medications, ensuring that they remain in their original packaging.
To avoid the propagation of diseases, pilgrims are recommended to protect from the diseases transmitted by mosquitoes such as the Zika virus and dengue using protective clothing and the use of insect repellent containing Deet, IR3535 or icaridine
