Default Jabs do I need them for Egypt

I'm off to Egypt in a couple of weeks with the wife and kids, Do I need to go to the doctors for injections and stuff, I'm sure I had my tetanus about 4 years ago. Cheers Gonzo.

There are no mandatory jabs required but it is always best to check your quacks and make sure there are no clauses in your holiday insurance.
Have a safe trip

Hep A/C / Typhoid / & bring your polio & tetanus up to date

malaria tablets are / were only required if you go into the desert areas, or lower down than Aswan

You need about 3-4 weeks for the jabs to take effect
