Hajj & Umrah vaccinations
Everything for Hajj or Umrah in one visit: the meningitis ACWY vaccine Saudi Arabia asks for, your visa certificate, and any other jabs worth having.
Book online at least 1 day ahead
- £10 for the consultation; each vaccine is priced separately, and you’re told the price before anything is given
- Meningitis ACWY certificate for your visa, written on the day
- Flu, pneumococcal, hepatitis and typhoid jabs here too, if you want them
- Families and groups welcome: book one slot each and we’ll see you together
The £10 is for the consultation and certificate. Vaccines are separate and agreed with you first.
If you feel very unwell, call NHS 111, or in an emergency, 999.
What you get
Sorted in one visit
The ACWY jab, the certificate in the format the visa needs, and advice on heat, crowds, food and water. You leave with everything in hand.
The timing matters
The ACWY certificate must be dated at least 10 days before you arrive in Saudi Arabia, and the jab lasts 5 years. Book as soon as your dates are set, and ideally 3–4 weeks ahead so any other jabs have time to work.
Clear prices, no surprises
The consultation is £10. Every vaccine is a separate, fixed price that we tell you before it’s given. If you already have a valid ACWY certificate, we’ll say so and you pay nothing more.
Open late, every day
Evening and weekend appointments, so the whole family can come together after work or school.

Quick answers
- Which vaccine do I need for the visa?
- Meningitis ACWY, given at least 10 days before arrival and within the last 5 years. Rules can change between seasons: we follow the current Saudi requirements and your tour operator’s advice.
- What else is recommended?
- Flu (the season often overlaps), COVID-19, and pneumococcal for older pilgrims or anyone with a long-term condition. Hepatitis A, hepatitis B and typhoid are worth considering. We’ll go through what fits you.
- Can we book as a family or a group?
- Yes. Book one slot per person for the same evening and we’ll see you together. Call us for a larger group.
- I’ve had the ACWY jab before: do I need it again?
- Not if it was within the last 5 years and you have the certificate. Bring it and we’ll check it against the current rules.
