Saudi Arabia has announced new travel guidelines for passengers, which include mandatory vaccinations for certain diseases. The most significant of these vaccines is for “Neck Breaking Fever,” and other vaccinations have also been included in the list. However, children under one year old will be exempt from these vaccination requirements.
The Saudi Civil Aviation Authority has ensured that all airlines around the world have been informed of these updated travel health guidelines. They also emphasized the need for strict adherence to these new rules.
To comply with these guidelines, travelers will need to carry a vaccination certificate that is issued no more than ten days before their arrival in Saudi Arabia. The certificate must be from a recognized source. Specifically, for the polysaccharide vaccine, the certificate must not be older than three years. For the conjugated type of vaccine, the certificate must be no older than five years.
This move is part of Saudi Arabia’s efforts to ensure the health and safety of both travelers and residents. As countries around the world continue to adjust to new health standards, travelers are urged to stay informed and updated on the latest requirements to avoid any disruptions during their journey.
This updated travel regulation is designed to protect everyone, ensuring safe and smooth travel to Saudi Arabia for those who are vaccinated and meet the required health standards.
