Kyrgyz hajj pilgrims have received all necessary vaccines, including seasonal flu and meningitis before heading out to Mecca, Mambetasan Ibraev, the chief organizer told the news agency 24.kg.
"We do not have a swine flu vaccine yet, but took other preventive measures, such as face masks. Every pilgrim undergoes medical examination before and after boarding the plane," Ibraev said.
The second group of believers left for Mecca Friday morning.
