Saudi Arabia is implementing stricter health protocols for Umrah pilgrims in 2025. The Saudi Civil Aviation Authority requires vaccinations for meningococcal meningitis, polio, yellow fever, COVID-19, and seasonal flu.
Pilgrims from polio-affected countries, like Pakistan, Nigeria, and Afghanistan, must also receive polio vaccinations, while those from Angola, Nigeria, Brazil, and Congo need yellow fever shots. COVID-19 and flu vaccines are mandatory as per WHO recommendations.
Pilgrims must carry vaccination certificates and medical records if needed. To prevent mosquito-borne diseases, protective clothing and insect repellents are recommended.
