Vaccination for Hajj

Alhamdulillah. Turns out, it is pretty easy to get the replacement card from the health center. You just go to see the nurse and she'll fill up a new card with the injection date and chop away.All you need to do is ask nicely. Even my husband yang dah inject tahun lepas pun die tanye date camtu je. Betul-betul trust. Thank you kind nurse! You have help us BIG time!

By the way, for future record for bakal-bakal haji masa mendatang, the vaccination center is located nearby wholesale market, in Abu Hamour.The Health center provide free jabs, just bring in your RP id.

Meningitis vaccination is a compulsory jab for those going for hajj (I think it is a set standard by Saudi's government). Influenza is like an optional jab. 
I have a friend who is currently 4 months pregnant, she didn't get the chance to take the jab due to her condition, so her doctor just write a letter to prove that she is fit for hajj. So, afraid not, if there's any issue.. ask away, there might just be a solution for it. InsyaAllah.

Oh.. kesiannye. But in malaysia they tend to make lot of stuff difficult, when it is actually easy.
Kat sini I think it is normal to allow pregnant woman to go.
I even stumble upon a blog that share a story of performing hajj while being 7 months pregnant- flying from Aussie some more. Takde pulak mention about restriction utk gi haji and all..
Whatever pun, yang penting kita tawakkal.. insyaAllah semua dipermudahkan :)
