Mecca, Islam’s holiest city, is the destination for millions of Muslims every year for Hajj. Pilgrims travel from all over the world, with the number of visitors equivalent to the entire population of Botswana. Participants of Hajj should take precautions with regard to their health and safety. JHAH cares about the health and wellbeing of our patients and to support Hajj pilgrims, we are pleased to offer the Johns Hopkins Aramco Healthcare (JHAH) Meningococcal Immunization Program for the 2023 Hajj season.
The JHAH Hajj Meningococcal Vaccination Program runs April 9 – June 8, 2023, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., Sunday to Thursday, no appointment necessary, at the following Health Centers:
If you need to take the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine to perform ‘Hajj’ this year, please schedule an appointment through MyChart.
