The question was:
"Any chance of adding a vaccinations required page..."
Recommendations are different:
Tetanus:
You should have that anyway! It's not Bali specific.
Hep A, B
same as above.
Polio
see above
Gamma-Globulin as a general "Imune System Booster" is made from human blood. Therefore some studies say it may contain the HI-Virus. Do you dare to recommend this?
Cholera:
Acording to some statistics the success rate of this vac. is only 45%. Further on, it's a "poor people disease". Tourists can afford to drink bottled watern etc.
Typhus, Para-Typhus,
Successrate of this per-os vac is very low.
Dengue Fever
No vac
Malaria
There is no vac. against Malaria
