No inoculations or vaccinations are required unless a visitor is coming from countries where yellow fever is prevalent, in which case a yellow fever vaccination is required. The United Nations Medical Service recommends vaccinations against tetanus-diphtheria every ten years and against typhoid, oral or injectable, every three years for staff members and their dependents.
It is now a requirement for foreign nationals to have complete Covid-19 vaccinations prior to entering Indonesia. This requirement also applies for children between the ages of 12-17 years old. If it is not possible for children between 12-17 years old to receive Covid-19 vaccinations in their departing country, a statement letter from a medical authority or health facility which declares that vaccinations for children between 12 – 17 years old is currently not available, is required.
If your children or you did not have the polio vaccination (when you were a child), we encourage you (and your family members traveling to Indonesia) to have it before you travel. If you were vaccinated (when you were a child), we encourage you to have a booster shot. If you are traveling from a country where Yellow Fever is present, you are required to show a proof of having been vaccinated. The costs of vaccinations may be reimbursed by your agency as applicable. Please contact your local physician for advice prior to your travel.
