Nash Chemists travel clinic is extending its healthcare services for members of the Muslim community by offering a meningococcal (ACWY) vaccination package to pilgrims travelling for Hajj and Umrah. The service is offered in partnership with Novartis Vaccines and The Muslim Council of Britain.
The conjugated meningococcal (ACWY) vaccine is a health requirement for individuals performing Hajj, a pilgrimage to Mecca which able-bodied Muslims are expected to perform at least once in their lives. A certificate is provided following vaccination, which is a mandatory visa requirement for those travelling for Hajj and Umrah.
