I went to Egypt in June and I checked the US government websites to see if you needed any vaccine. There were 4 that were recommended ...BUT...none were required.
Its your personal preference. I got two shots of Hepatitis A & B per my doctors recommendation.
Talk to your doctor, see what he says. In hind sight, I didnt' need those shots. Egypt is safe.
Have a great trip

I honestly have by no ability had any vaccinations to flow to Egypt, so i imagine your ok. some good bits of advice are = Drink pleanty of water, maximum individuals are unwell because they dont, & then they blame the food & its no longer the food. Take a hat, helps with the sunstroke. In Febuary its warmth by way of day & chilly at nighttime, so take a jacket or jumper. Dont be uptight with the effort, smile & take it on your stride. be affected human being, issues flow slowly in Egypt, except for the site visitors. suitable suggestion = delight on your vacation, its a outstanding position & the individuals are pleasant.
