NADRA Vaccination Card Deadline Extended

The deadline for NADRA-integrated vaccination card requirements has been extended to September 25, 2026, according to Border Health Services sources. This extension relieves passengers and Umrah pilgrims who had prepared for the original September 14 deadline. Hundreds of travelers had queued at the airport health office to secure these cards before the deadline arrived.

Border Health Services had announced the requirement on September 7, mandating that Hajj and Umrah pilgrims carry vaccination certificates linked to the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA). These certificates were required for vaccinations against polio, meningitis, yellow fever, and influenza before travel. Failure to provide NADRA-integrated proof of vaccination would result in travelers being barred from boarding their flights.

The deadline extension allows more time for passengers to complete the vaccination process and receive the necessary certificate. This comes as increased demand for vaccinations and certificate services had arisen in the days leading up to the original deadline.
