peated for information to Khartoum, Kuala Lumpur and Saving to

Pilgrimage to Meccas Health Requirements.
I have received a note from the Saudi Arabian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs setting out following requirements for the vacci
nation and inoculation (to be certified on internationally recognised
forms) of all persons landing in Saudi Arabia.
(a) Small-pox - vaccination not less than fourteen days, not
more than three years before arrival.
(b) Cholera - inoculation not less than six days nor more than
six months before arrival.
(c) Yellow Fever - inoculation not less than ten days nor more
than four years before arrival. Required in the case of persons
coming from suspected or Infected areas only.
2. Corkill, the British Health expert now advising the Saudi
Arabian Government has told a member of my staff that the note
does not correspond with his recommendations. He wished to require
immunisation against cholera for a period from two months before
to two months after the pilgrimage only and to exclude typhus
and include typhoid inoculations.
3* I realise that these additional requirements will invoke
considerable extra work for the Governments and Administrations
concerned. On the other hand it seems undesirable to discourage
the Saudi Arabian Government in their attempts to make their
Quarantine organisations more effective and any representations
should preferably be confined to attempting to secure the
elimination of any provisions in the new regulations which will
serve no useful purpose or are not in accordance with the latest
international practice.
4. I should be grateful therefore for early instructions
whether I should make representations on the lines of Doctor
CorkiH's comments above. The first pilgrim sailings from the
Far East will leave on 28th May so time is short.
