We ensure you are protected against four key strains and meet all travel documentation needs:

- Administration of the single-dose MenACWY vaccine (usually an injection in the upper arm).
- Issuance of the official certificate of vaccination (often required for entry/visa applications).
- Advice on the certificate's validity (up to 5 years for pilgrims, depending on the vaccine brand).
