Holiday injections - Egypt...

Question

I am going on holiday in January to Egypt.. can anyone tell me what jabs i shall require, if any? How long before my holiday i shall need them? Thanks

Answer 1

Lucky you! I am answering with a smit of jealousy here!

We didn't have any inoculations before we went we looked at the site, from the government(U.K) and as we were going to Sharm El Sheik none were required. Anyway what I would advise is don't forget the Diocalm, EVERYONE gets a dose of the trotters!!! It was the main conversation on the beach one day and EVERYONE had had a squirty bott! It is caused by germs that although are not particularly harmful they are alien to us and this causes us to RUN to the loo!

It is a great place to holiday, and having the great sun, my partner got really burnt last Jan, so take a good suitable sunscreen. You have an amazing holiday to look forward to :)

Answer 2

None

Answer 3

You don't need any injections but i would really recommend you have the Hepatitis vaccines which are free from your GP. Especially Hep A which is found in dirty conditions.

Some doctors advise a Yellow Fever Vaccination but this isn't really necessary if you are going to a coastal area.

Something else I recommend is Immodium and also Rennie's!

You will love it there though, I go there quite alot with work and the place is fab xx
