We've travelled to Bali 12 times now, and have just completed a Booster course of Hep A, Hep B,and Tetanus Vax. The Course wasn't cheap, but the alternatives are obvious! As we are going to go to some "farms", the Dr also advised that we have Rabies Vax as well. Currently, there is a world-wide shortage of the vaccine should you become infected. (I was surprised to learn - from the Dr that a scratch from an infected animal is all it takes!). The good thing is Rabies is a once off for life. As I understand, Travel Bug (Google it)have clinics in most States of Australia and are readily accessible. Some of the cost can be claimed from MediCare and from Private Health Insurance.
