What is the frequent illness in Egypt and what is the more dangerous?

Question

Is there a vaccim for avoid it?

Answer 1

I had typhoid, Hepititis B and Polio shots before I went in May this year

Answer 2

Bird flu is still  a problem in some areas of Egypt. Also Hepititus B is quite prevelent.

Your doctor will be able to advise you what shots you should have before you visit any country, and when I went my doctor told me to have shots for typhoid and Hepititis B and to top up my polio drops.

Just as a precaution you should take your docs advise, and then when in Egypt drink only bottled water and do not eat salads out - wash them yourself in your bottled water.
