Thanks

Hi Stoilkys,

We had Hep A, Typhoid Fever, Diphtheria/Tetanus and Polio.

These vaccinations were free of charge.

Have a lovely holiday.

Hi thanks for the quick reply.

How likely is it that we will suffer side affects from the vaccines?

Thanks

I went to Egypt last year and didnt have any injections, if your planning going out of sharm it might be worth having them. Ive just had mine to got to Dominican Republice in 3 weeks and they might leave a red mark for few days and 1 (cant remeber which) give you a dead arm feeling for few hours.
Which hotel in Egypt you staying in??
Defo go to the Hard Rock cafe!!

We're staying at the Grand Sharm hotel, i believe it has now been built and it is a matter of polishing the place up.

The hotel should be complete in November, (fingers crossed).

Yes im sure myself and my partner will try and see as much of Sharm as we can.

But i will certainly go to the Hard Rock cafe.

Thanks for you help.

Remember if you do any trips out of sharm you will need a visa, these can be bought at airport.

[off topic] With reference to the above post - leaving Sharm includes the Ras Mohammed reef just of the pensinular, not just trips to Cairo or Luxor!!

We had no side effects from the vaccines, arms just a bit sore for a few days.

It's worth having the vaccines!
