Muslims warned
Date published: 15 September 2009
British Muslims will need an injection against seasonal flu if they are travelling to Saudi Arabia for this year’s Hajj pilgrimage, under new travel rules announced today.
The Saudi government is requiring all pilgrims from Britain to provide a certificate of vaccination — which must be at least two weeks old — before they apply for a Hajj visa.
They will also need to be vaccinated against swine flu before the pilgrimage in November.
