The Turkish Health Ministry may prohibit Hajj for its citizens, if the number of vaccines against swine influenza A (H1N1) will be insufficient, Haber7 website reported.

The question of sending Turkish pilgrims to holy cities of Mecca and Medina remains open, the website said. Turkey's Health Ministry reported that, perhaps, a vaccine against swine influenza will be in insufficient quantities in October.

The pilgrims are less probable to get vaccination at the border with Saudi Arabia, because the world still do not have enough vaccines against influenza A (H1N1).
