Before traveling to Bali, it is recommended to visit a doctor at least a month before the trip to determine the specific vaccines or medicines needed. While there are no specific vaccine requirements for entry into Bali, there are several factors to consider when deciding whether or not to take precautions and get vaccinated against diseases prevalent in Bali and surrounding Southeast Asian countries, including Indonesia. Below are some of the most important routine vaccinations for Bali that you may be asked to receive before you head out:

• Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR)
• Tetanus-Diphtheria-Pertussis (Tdap)
• Hepatitis A
• Typhoid

It is also recommended to ensure that existing vaccinations from childhood, including tetanus, measles, mumps, rubella, and diphtheria, are all up to date. Other vaccines to consider include hepatitis B, Japanese encephalitis, and rabies. The need for vigilance, particularly when traveling with children, cannot be understated. It is important to avoid physical contact with all domestic or wild animals in any setting unless you are absolutely certain the animal has been well vaccinated. Additionally, it is important to take precautions to avoid mosquito bites by covering up with clothing such as long sleeves and long trousers, using insect repellents on exposed skin, and sleeping under a mosquito net.
