JEDDAH: The Saudi government on Thursday suspended the requirement of meningitis vaccination for Umrah pilgrims.

As per the reports, Umrah pilgrims can now travel to Saudi Arabia without taking the meningitis vaccination.

The Saudi Civil Aviation Authority has informed all airlines through a letter.

Earlier, Saudi Arabia had made it mandatory for Umrah pilgrims to get vaccinated 10 days before travel.

However, due to a severe shortage of meningitis vaccines in Punjab, many pilgrims were struggling to get the required vaccine.
