Prevention: The Key to Safe Travels
Here is why vaccination is vital for travellers:
- Vaccination Requirement: The ACWY vaccine is recommended for those travelling to areas prone to outbreaks, including the ‘meningitis belt’ of sub-Saharan Africa and regions experiencing known outbreaks.

Additional Safety Measures
- Certification: Some regions require proof of vaccination for entry. Ensure you receive your vaccination certificate, particularly when travelling for religious pilgrimages or seasonal work.
- Timing: The vaccine should be administered at least 10 days before travel for full efficacy.
