Former MP Mohammed Al-Hajjar tweeted: "To ensure the safety of the pilgrims to the sacred house of God, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia requires pilgrims to be vaccinated against meningitis. The vaccine, as we have learned, is not available at the Ministry of Health due to lack of funding, nor in pharmacies. It is necessary to secure it as soon as possible either at the Ministry of Health, as is customary, or in pharmacies so that Lebanese pilgrims can perform the Hajj."
