I have recently arrived in Saudi Arabia, and have so far been advised (advised from when first accepting the job when in the UK) that I would not require any additional vaccinations until going through the Iqama. Could someone please advise if otherwise / or confirm this is the case. I am worried about not being vaccinated as it should be

There are no vaccinations that are required as part of the Iqama process.聽聽Maybe only Hep B and the like if you are working food or healthcare services.

Ok thanks, so coming from the UK, you wouldn't advise for any additional vaccinations. Think the hep B is given in UK as a child so have that already

Yep as there is no requirement from the Government to do anything.聽 If you want anything additional, that is up to you.
