Travelling for Hajj or Umrah? Here is what you need.
Saudi Arabia is a UK destination primarily for Hajj and Umrah pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina, plus business travel to Riyadh and Jeddah and growing leisure travel to AlUla. Meningococcal ACWY certification is mandatory for Hajj and Umrah, which shapes the vaccine plan for most UK travellers.
NaTHNaC recommends Tetanus for most travellers to Saudi Arabia, with Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Meningococcal disease, Rabies and Typhoid recommended for some travellers depending on itinerary. MenACWY certification is mandatory for Hajj and Umrah.
Aqua Travel Clinic in West Hampstead is operated by Aqua Pharmacy (GPhC-registered premises 1123406, owned by Naspram Pharma Limited) under the Superintendent Pharmacist at Aqua Pharmacy. We can usually fit you in same-week for Saudi Arabia travel vaccines. Book online in 60 seconds.
What is included in your Hajj or Umrah travel consultation
Everything pilgrims need for Mecca and Medina in one short appointment with a GPhC-registered pharmacist.
Tetanus / Diphtheria / Polio (Td/IPV) booster
A 10-year booster is standard and covers the Tetanus, Diphtheria and Polio bases in one injection.
MenACWY (Hajj/Umrah certificate)
MenACWY is mandatory for Hajj and Umrah - 1 dose, valid 5 years. We issue the required certificate in-clinic.
Rabies (where indicated)
Three-dose pre-exposure schedule (days 0, 7, 21-28). Pharmacies cannot administer post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).
Malaria prescription + bite avoidance
Risk varies by region. The pharmacist checks your itinerary against NaTHNaC and prescribes atovaquone/proguanil, doxycycline or mefloquine where appropriate. DEET and clothing advice included.

Travel vaccines for Saudi Arabia - at a glance
NaTHNaC recommends Tetanus for most travellers to Saudi Arabia, with Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Meningococcal disease, Rabies and Typhoid recommended for some travellers depending on itinerary. MenACWY certification is mandatory for Hajj and Umrah. Aqua Travel Clinic in West Hampstead is operated by Aqua Pharmacy (GPhC premises 1123406, owned by Naspram Pharma Limited) under the Superintendent Pharmacist at Aqua Pharmacy.
Tetanus, Diphtheria and Polio (Td/IPV)
The 10-year Td/IPV booster is the main vaccine consideration for Saudi Arabia. It keeps your Tetanus, Diphtheria and Polio cover current in one injection - it can be added to any Aqua consultation.
Rabies
NaTHNaC recommends pre-exposure rabies vaccination for some travellers to Saudi Arabia - particularly rural trips, longer stays, backpackers, cyclists, children, VFR travellers and anyone likely to have close animal contact. At Aqua we use the three-dose pre-exposure schedule on days 0, 7 and 21-28 (UK Green Book standard). Pharmacies cannot administer post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) - if you are bitten or scratched abroad, wash the wound thoroughly and go straight to A&E, NHS 111 or a local hospital for post-exposure treatment.
Meningococcal disease (MenACWY - Hajj and Umrah)
MenACWY vaccination is mandatory for Hajj and Umrah pilgrimage. A single dose gives around five years of cover and Aqua issues the required certificate in-clinic on the day - most pilgrims are sorted in a single 15-minute appointment.
Hepatitis B
Three-dose course (0, 1, 6 months) recommended for longer stays, medical or dental procedures, tattoos, piercings and new sexual partners abroad. An accelerated schedule is available for shorter lead times.
Malaria
Malaria risk varies by region in Saudi Arabia. We check your itinerary against NaTHNaC and either prescribe atovaquone/proguanil, doxycycline or mefloquine for higher-risk areas, or confirm you do not need cover. Bite avoidance advice (DEET, long sleeves at dawn and dusk) is included.
