Vaccinations for travel to Saudi Arabia depend on the purpose of your trip, with specific mandatory requirements for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims and additional recommended vaccines for general travellers.

Proof of certain vaccinations is required as a condition of entry for Hajj and Umrah, while other vaccines are strongly advised to reduce the risk of preventable infectious diseases during travel.

Mandatory vaccinations for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims from Singapore include meningococcal, COVID-19, and influenza vaccines.

These vaccinations are required due to the higher risk of infectious disease transmission during mass gatherings and are verified during visa processing and entry into Saudi Arabia.

Meningococcal ACWY Vaccine

• Quadrivalent meningococcal vaccination must be completed at least 10 days before departure. Official proof of vaccination must be presented during visa application and upon arrival in Saudi Arabia.
• Quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccines are valid for 5 years.
• Quadrivalent meningococcal polysaccharide vaccines are valid for 3 years and are no longer available in Singapore.

COVID-19 Vaccine

Proof of immunisation is required and may include one of the following:

• A single dose of the updated COVID-19 vaccine for the 2024–2025 season.
• Completion of a primary COVID-19 vaccination series, defined as two or more doses received between 2021 and 2023.
• Laboratory-confirmed recovery from a COVID-19 infection in 2024.

• Influenza vaccination must be administered within 12 months before the travel date.

For the latest updates on Hajj and Umrah requirements, you may refer to the official MUIS website.

Other recommended vaccinations for Saudi Arabia help protect you from common and region-specific infectious diseases, even when they are not legally required for entry.

Vaccine	What It Protects Against
Hepatitis A	Protects against hepatitis A, a viral liver infection spread through contaminated food or water that can cause symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, abdominal discomfort, and jaundice.
Hepatitis B	Protects against hepatitis B, a viral infection transmitted through blood and body fluids that can lead to liver inflammation and long-term liver complications.
Typhoid	Protects against typhoid fever, a food- and water-borne infection that may occur when eating outside controlled environments and can cause prolonged fever, diarrhoea, and abdominal pain.
Pneumococcal	Protects against pneumococcal infections, including pneumonia and bloodstream infections, which can cause severe respiratory symptoms and pose higher risks during crowded settings. Also recommended for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims.
Routine vaccinations	Protect against common vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, diphtheria, and polio, which can spread easily and cause systemic or neurological complications when immunisation is incomplete. Also recommended for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims.

Planning your visit earlier than the minimum recommended timeframe provides additional flexibility to address unexpected delays, manage possible side effects, prepare vaccination documentation, and complete any follow-up doses if needed.

If you are travelling to Saudi Arabia for Hajj or Umrah, documentation of meningococcal ACWY, COVID-19, and influenza vaccination is required in accordance with current guidelines.

For Singapore pilgrims, MUIS-appointed travel agents typically coordinate the submission of required documents as part of the Hajj process.

You should still ensure that your vaccination records:

• Clearly state the vaccine type and date of administration.
• Are issued by a recognised medical provider.
• Match the personal details used in your visa application.

Keeping both digital and physical copies of your vaccination records is advisable in case verification is needed during travel.

Staying healthy in Saudi Arabia involves more than vaccination, particularly during Hajj and Umrah where large crowds, heat exposure, and close contact increase health risks. In addition to completing required vaccinations, you should take practical steps to reduce the risk of infection and heat-related illness, including:

• Practise good personal hygiene by washing your hands regularly with soap and water.
• Follow safe food and water precautions by consuming fully cooked food, drinking bottled or treated water, and avoiding raw or undercooked products.
• Avoid close contact with people who are unwell.
• Refrain from contact with camels or other animals to reduce the risk of respiratory infections such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS).
• Take precautions against heat-related illness by staying hydrated, resting when needed, and limiting prolonged sun exposure.

If you develop fever, respiratory symptoms, or persistent diarrhoea during travel or within two weeks of returning to Singapore, seek medical attention promptly and inform your doctor of your recent travel history.

Your vaccination will also be updated to the National Immunisation Registry (NIR) where relevant, this allows you to keep a record of your vaccinations.

Vaccinations offer significant individual benefits by boosting the immune system's ability to fight off specific infectious diseases. They reduce the risk of contracting serious illnesses, leading to fewer medical visits and a lower chance of hospitalization.

By staying up-to-date with vaccinations, individuals can also enjoy a greater sense of well-being and freedom to engage in various social activities, knowing they are protected against contagious diseases.

At ATA Medical, we offer a wide range of vaccinations to meet your various health needs, from travel to seasonal immunity, ensuring you are well-protected. Your vaccination will also be updated to the National Immunisation Registry (NIR) where relevant, this allows you to keep a record of the vaccinations.
