you should have taken the meningitis vaccination at least 10 days before your travel date, or other wise it won't be effective when you get there, so let's say you will get it on sunday, it will be less than 10 days so ...it's up to you, you can take it but it won't be effective. usually in KSA they won't ask you about the certificate.

They never ask for the certificate(as my past experience)...but to be safe please get one

different people having different experience while travelling...

so just take all the precaution..

Ideally yes you need to get vaccinated, but do check with your Umra Operator.

Do remember me in your prayers. Jazak Allah Khair
