If you or someone you know is preparing for Hajj or Umrah, be aware that the UK Health Security Agency is advising pilgrims to get their meningitis jabs before travelling. There have been a small number of UK cases of meningitis among people who have been to Saudi Arabia in February and March of this year. Invasive meningococcal disease is rare but serious, leading to severe conditions that can be fatal or leave people with life-changing disabilities. Many local pharmacies offer the meningitis vaccine – speak to yours, or get more information on the National Travel Health Network website: https://travelhealthpro.org.uk/country/191/saudi-arabia
