trips to Saudi Arabia
Health 
A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required from all travellers arriving from countries of which any parts are infected.
2
Vaccination against typhoid is advised.
3
Malaria risk, predominantly in the malignant falciparum form, exists throughout the year in most of the Southern region, except the high altitude areas of Asir Province, and in certain rural areas of the Western Province. There is no risk in Jeddah, Mecca, Medina or Ta’if. Resistance to chloroquine has been reported. The recommended prophylaxis is chloroquine plus proguanil. Cerebral malaria has also occurred, but solely in the Jizan region.
Note
During the Hajj (annual pilgrimage to Mecca), Saudi Arabia requires vaccination of pilgrims against meningococcal meningitis. Although this applies mainly to pilgrims, other travellers may find themselves affected, especially during the month of August.
