Meningitis is a infection all around the protective membranes of brain and spinal cord.

According to national travel health network centre yes it is compulsory.

Meningococcal meningitis:All pilgrims who intend to undertake Hajj or Umrah and seasonal workers, are required to provide proof ofvaccination against meningococcal meningitis ACW135Y in order to obtain a visa for entry into KSA. The MOHKSA stipulate that one dose of meningitis ACW135Y vaccine should be received not more than three years andnot less than ten days, before arrival in KSA [1, 2].

Have a safe journey to Umrah :ia:, keep the Ummah in your duas too :)
