I am travelling in just over a month, as is my brother and his two children. We have/will be vaccinated. You would be wise to ask you Doctor but Hep A, typhoid, polio and tetanus should be high on you list of priorities.
Compared to tother developing areas Bali is a low risk place. Your chances of geting sick are very very small. That said, vaccinations are very cheap, very quick and relatively painless.
You will be advised by many on here that you need not bother as they have all been squillions of times and never gotten sick. Which, if you are just slightly intelligent, you will realise means absolutely nothing. All of the people that did get sick are no longer able to work, can not afford computers and therefore are not on this forum to tell you tales of their woe.
