Respiratory symptom burden, vaccination coverage, and preventive health practices among Sudanese Hajj pilgrims who traveled by sea
These findings suggest that Sudanese pilgrims who travel by sea generally comply with mandatory preventive measures, but show lower adherence to non-mandatory ones, leaving them vulnerable to infections. Strengthening structured pre-travel health education and ensuring equitable access to vaccinations could significantly improve their health outcomes.
