Many of your customers could benefit from a convenient, in pharmacy meningitis ACWY vaccination service. Anyone who books a trip to Saudi Arabia for Hajj/Umrah, or for any other reason, needs to provide proof of a meningitis ACWY vaccination to be allowed into the country. This vaccination is not covered on the NHS, so Muslim pilgrims travelling to Saudi for pilgrimage need to obtain the vaccine privately.

Teenagers and new university students are also at a higher risk of meningococcal ACWY infection because many of them mix closely with lots of new people, some of whom may unknowingly carry the meningococcal bacteria at the back of their noses and throats. As a result, students routinely look to get the jab before heading off to university.
