I've been ten or eleven times and never had any jabs, nor problems that any jabs would have prevented.
But it does depend where you go. The Nile area for example is more of a health-risk area (I understand there are paticular Malaria issues there), rather than the Sinai desert (Sharm, and other dive destinations for example).

I've been there a few times and never had any; what you're most likely to get is gippy tummy [which is short for Egyptian tummy] from food that hasn't been properly cleaned or cooked; so take care with salads and unpeeled fruit and stick to bottled water. Depending where you are going, you might need to enquire about malaria precautions.
