DHAKA, May 24, 2022 (BSS) - Hajj pilgrims will have to show health check-up
reports and Covid-19 vaccine certificates during immigration at the airport
this year.
"Health check-up and vaccination activities started from May 23," a Religious
Affairs Ministry notification today said requesting the pilgrims to take the
health check-up reports and Covid-19 vaccine as well as certificate from the
nearest healthcare centres.
While going to vaccination centers for Covid-19 vaccine, the intending
pilgrims have been requested to bring reports of chest X-ray, ECG, blood
group, urine-RME and blood sugar from the government hospitals or any private
hospital/diagnostic center approved by the government.
If all these tests have been done in the last three months, there is no need
for testing again, the notification said, adding that only previous health
examination reports should be presented at the vaccination center.
Pilgrims, however, under private management should bring printed copies of e-
health profile forms from their respective agencies, it said, adding that
along with registration certificates, hajj pilgrims under the government
management should bring print copies of e-health profile forms from the
nearest registration centers (Islamic Foundation district office, Deputy
Commissioner's Office, UDC and Hajj Office, Ashkona).
The pilgrims can print their e-health profile forms from the website
https://prp.pilgrimdb.org/web/pilgrimsearch?q= N while they should search by
typing their tracking number instead of N (e.g. N.....4).
The private hajj agencies will provide health check-up and vaccination
certificates to the pilgrims under their management through their own user
IDs.
The hajj pilgrims under the government management will collect the print
copies of health check-up reports and vaccination certificates from the
concerned vaccination centers or nearest registration centers (Islamic
Foundation district office, Deputy Commissioner's Office, UDC and Hajj
Office, Ashkona).
If any pilgrim fails to get the Covid-19 vaccine within the stipulated time,
he/she can avail the vaccine and health check-up reports from Ashkona Hajj
Camp Medical Center from May 25.
