It depends where abouts you're going to - the Red Sea ports are all fine but along the Nile can be a bit iffy. If you call your GP surgery the Practice Nurse should be able to advise you and administer any jabs.

It isn't a worry for Sinai. You won't need any for Dahab or Sharm.

In addition to what you have (probably) already received in terms of routine U.K. vaccines, Hep A and typhoid are a good idea. I've dived in Egypt a few times when someone has 'forgotten' that they shouldn't 'flush' the toilet when the boat is at a standstill and divers are just entering the water...

"where did all these fish come from? Oh...."

Jabs wise i was recommended making sure all your usuals are up to date, e.g polio, dip, tet, and in addition even in sharm and dahab to be on the safe side, typhoid (you really dont want to have to worry about typhoid) and maybe worth hep A and B if your the cautious type.

Jabs
Definatly get the Hep A and B done, they might not be necessarily required on info that you look up, especialy for Red Sea, but definatly worth taking as they are not uncommon diseases here,
If i remember rightly the Hep jabs are given in 2 parts so to be covered for 5 years? (not totally sure if is 3 5 or 10) you need to go baakc after 6 months or so to take the second shot.
Also the typhoid, although not super common it is definatly something to avoid.
and of course make sure all your regular stuff is up to date tetanus, Polio etc.

You want a jab in Egypt? You'll need at least two languages...
