Journal Article
Mandating influenza vaccine for Hajj pilgrims
2016
Overview
[...]to overcome the issue of unavailability due to seasonal shift, the Saudi Thoracic Society suggested that the southern hemisphere vaccine be used for pilgrims arriving from the northern hemisphere (evidence D, the committee's expert opinion), but the logistics of such a policy are not outlined.4 It is unclear how a tailormade vaccine for a specific season and hemisphere could be made available for the population of the other hemisphere; since influenza is an RNA virus that mutates rapidly, the vaccine might be ineffective, and whether the strategy is going to be beneficial or sustainable should be formally explored.
