ACWY Vaccinations for Hajj and Umrah
- Our Hajj and Umrah Vaccination Service includes the conjugated meningococcal ACWY vaccination, administration and a certificate.
- When to get vaccinated: If you are getting vaccinated prior to going to a risk area you should aim to get the jab at least two weeks before.
- Course: The course consists of one dose.
- Boosters: Boosters aren’t currently recommended. However, you can get a booster five years after your last jab if you need it for a meningitis ACWY certificate.
- How it is given: Injection in the upper arm.
- Side effects: The ACWY vaccine can cause mild side effects, such as redness and swelling at the injection site and tiredness. Some people also report having a high temperature as a result of the injection.
- Children: The vaccine can be given from birth.
- Additional precautions: Early treatment is vital – if you or a fellow traveller show symptoms of meningitis, seek medical attention immediately. The ACWY vaccine does not protect against meningitis B.
- Risk if you contract the disease: Meningitis can cause an inflammation of the tissue around the spinal cord and brain. This can result in brain damage and death.
