As many Muslims around the world gear up to embark upon the annual Islamic pilgrimage to the holy city of Makkah, the most important step for them would be to get vaccinated. "Ideally, the vaccines should be taken four to six weeks prior to travelling or at least 10 days prior to the date of travel," said Dr Sawsan Al Nahas, specialist registrar at the Dubai Health Authority's (DHA) Traveller's Clinic, during a smart clinic session.
The Abu Dhabi Health Authority has tweeted health tips for Haj pilgrims including simple precautions such as avoiding the sun, drinking enough water, getting enough sleep, using light-coloured umbrellas, among many others.
1. Seek immediate medical care if you develop fever and severe cough symptoms during the two weeks after you return from Haj.
