Hajj & Umrah Vaccinations in Stoke-on-Trent
Get your mandatory and recommended vaccinations for Hajj and Umrah at Norfolk Street Pharmacy. We provide certificates accepted by the Saudi Arabian Embassy for your visa application.
Preparing for Hajj or Umrah
Saudi Arabia requires all Hajj and Umrah pilgrims to present a valid Meningitis ACWY vaccination certificate as part of their visa application. Without this certificate, your visa will not be processed.
