You DO NOT need any injections. Just don't drink the water, you will be fine. Their water is not that clean, just drink bottled water, they do too.
I have been there several times, and never needed nor was required to take any injection. You will love the food. great food, nice Friend people. great place to visit. just not the water. Have fun.

Check with the US state department website where they issue advisories and recommendations for shots for worldwide travel. The real problem you will have traveling is from the everyday food preparations and water. Staying in a 4-5 star hotel will minimize some of these issues, but bring plenty of stomach medicines just in case. Do not eat off street vendors, bottle water is the safest way to re-hydrate. I will not be too warm at this time, but cool in the evenings.

You need Hepatitis A, typhoid, tetanus, diphtheria, polio (not an injection) and TB (advisable)

The NHS http://www.fitfortravel.scot.nhs.uk/ gives a quick free overview on the vaccinations needed. MASTA http://www.masta.org/ give a bit more detailed information than the NHS but charges you £3.49 for info on 10 countries. Once you know which vaccinations are advised, discuss with your doctor.
