It relies upon on the place you're coming from. you will be able to desire to be required by ability of Egyptian government to be immunised for specific illnesses in case you're coming back from an infested area. Like Yellow Fever in case you're comming from some latin American or African Tropical worldwide places. Your closest Egyptian Embassy/Consulate could desire to be waiting to assisst you in this regard. As for immunisations for illnesses which you will be able to desire to get in Egypt... there are none... the internet internet site of the who's a robust element to commence from to comprehend wether you opt for any immunisations traveling from or to everywhere.

Answer 3

From the CDC's website:

Vaccination or Disease Recommendations or Requirements for Vaccine-Preventable Diseases
Routine Recommended if you are not up-to-date with routine shots such as, measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) vaccine, diphtheria/pertussis/tetanus (DPT) vaccine, etc.
Hepatitis A or immune globulin (IG) Recommended for all unvaccinated people traveling to or working in countries with an intermediate or high level of hepatitis A virus infection (see map) where exposure might occur through food or water. Cases of travel-related hepatitis A can also occur in travelers to developing countries with "standard" tourist itineraries, accommodations, and food consumption behaviors.
Hepatitis B Recommended for all unvaccinated persons traveling to or working in countries with intermediate to high levels of endemic HBV transmission (see map) and who might be exposed to blood or body fluids, have sexual contact with the local population, or be exposed through medical treatment, such as for an accident, and for all adults requesting protection from HBV infection.
Typhoid Recommended for all unvaccinated people traveling to or working in North Africa, especially if visiting smaller cities, villages, or rural areas and staying with friends or relatives where exposure might occur through food or water.
Rabies Recommended for travelers spending a lot of time outdoors, especially in rural areas, involved in activities such as bicycling, camping, hiking, or work. Also, children are considered at higher risk because they tend to play with animals and may not report bites.
Polio Recommended for adult travelers who have received a primary series with either inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) or oral polio vaccine (OPV). They should receive another dose of IPV before departure.

Malaria


Malaria risk area in Egypt: Very limited risk in El Faiyûm area only. No risk in tourist areas, including Nile River cruises. Risk is very limited; therefore, prophylaxis is not recommended.

Because the risk of malaria in North African countries is so limited, taking an antimalarial drug is not recommended. However, travelers should protect themselves from mosquito bites (see below).
