I have a question about my 21 year old
daughter. She is going to travel to Egypt
in 2 weeks from now. We live in Sweden.
Does she need to get vaccinated, and if
so, what kind of vaccination does she
need?

Before traveling to Egypt your daughter
should be vaccinated against: Hepatitis A,
polio, typhoid and rabies (if there is a
risk). She doesn’t need these vaccines
if she is pregnant. She should also check
her routine vaccinations against
Mumps-Measles-Rubella (MMR), tetanus and
Hepatitis B.
