The General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has recently announced that the Meningitis Vaccine is mandatory for individuals visiting the country for Umrah, Hajj, or on a tourist visa. 

The vaccine must be administered at least 10 days prior to travel, according to a press release issued on Thursday.

INCEPTA is ensuring the availability of its Meningitis Vaccine, Ingovax ACWY, across the country. In the capital, the vaccine is accessible at Labaid, Praava Health, the Virology Department (BSMMU), Preventa, and other vaccination centres.
