For the many Malaysians who perform Umrah or Hajj each year, vaccination is not just paperwork, it can be an important part of travel preparation.
It is not only about travel documents, accommodation and packing. Health preparation is equally important, especially because pilgrims will be in large crowds, exposed to different environments and involved in physically demanding activities.
What Vaccines Should You Know About?
Depending on current travel requirements, age and health condition, your doctor may recommend vaccines such as:
Meningococcal vaccine – helps protect against meningococcal disease, a serious bacterial infection that can cause meningitis and bloodstream infection.
Pneumococcal vaccine – helps strengthen protection against serious pneumococcal infections and related complications.
Influenza vaccine – helps reduce the risk of seasonal influenza.
Who Should Be Extra Careful?
Pilgrims who are older or have existing health conditions may need extra health preparation.
This includes those with:
Diabetes
High blood pressure
Heart disease
Asthma or lung conditions
Weakened immune systems
Other chronic illnesses
