Current requirements
The review checks official Saudi and TravelHealthPro guidance, including any vaccine and certificate rules that apply to your dates.
Hajj & Umrah
Prepare for pilgrimage with health in the plan.
Hajj and Umrah combine changing entry requirements with crowd, heat and physical demands. A personal review brings the certificate, medicine and practical details together.
A travel-health consultation does not guarantee a vaccination, prescription, certificate or medicine. Please do not email medical details.

Useful answers
Before you travel.
The right answer depends on the journey and the person taking it.
Which vaccine certificates are required?
Requirements vary and can change. The clinician checks current TravelHealthPro and Saudi Ministry of Health information for your dates; the relevant authority makes the final entry decision.
Is a previous pilgrimage certificate enough?
Not necessarily. The vaccine type, date, certificate format and current validity rules must all be checked.
What if I have diabetes, asthma or heart disease?
Arrange a review early. Discuss control, medicine supply, monitoring, heat, exertion, crowd exposure and what would make travel unsafe or require local care.
Can I arrange everything in one appointment?
The assessment can create one plan, but vaccine courses, stock, authorised certificates or specialist input may require separate appointments or providers.
What should I do if I become unwell during pilgrimage?
Use local medical services promptly for significant symptoms. Call the local emergency number for serious illness; do not wait until returning to the UK.
