Individuals who plan to go on Hajj this year urged to receive vaccination shots, register via the Sehhaty app in Saudi Arabia

According to the Saudi Press Agency, the Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia has advised everyone planning to do the Hajj this year to get their vaccinations in advance and to register via the Sehhaty app. A dosage of the COVID-19 vaccine, a dose of the influenza vaccine received this year, and a dose of the meningitis vaccine received within the previous five years are among the necessary immunizations. These vaccinations are essential to pilgrims' health during the Hajj. Primary health care centers offer immunizations for domestic pilgrims, according to the ministry. Those planning to do the Hajj this year can use the Sehhaty app to make an appointment.

According to the ministry, getting all of your shots before the Hajj is crucial since it involves collecting big groups of people from all over the world to perform rituals in one location, which could expose them to a variety of infectious diseases that are common in some regions. By adhering to health precautions before to visiting the sacred locations, pilgrims and support personnel are shielded from illnesses that could interfere with Hajj ceremonies. By doing this, the safety of visitors coming to the Kingdom from overseas is also guaranteed.
