Moving to indo

i am moving to indonesia soon and i was wandering which vaccines would be recommended for me...i have hepatitis vaccines and typhoid already. not too worried but my last stay there i had gotten really sick twice with typhoid fever and it was the worst illness i have ever experienced. suggestions and opinions would be much appreciated.

Most MD specialists in “travel medicine” that I know would suggest a tetanus booster if you haven't had one in the past five years as well as the usual Hep vaccines (which you say you have already).  Other than that, and unless you are going to be living in a remote part of Indonesia, that's about it.

Good luck with your move from the great state of Georgia! 

Cheers!

That's great, thanks for your reply. Yes Tuesday I will be going for tetanus booster. I doubt I will be living in any remote areas. So I'm all set for indo. Soo excited too 👍

Bring pecans and your best pecan pie recipe!   :D

Ahahaha my family and I just made some a few days ago. I take it you like pecan pie lol

Use anti mosquito cream at night.
The tablets commonly give you a dodgy stomach, and not getting your blood sucked is far better than trying to prevent the illness with medicine.

"I take it you like pecan pie lol"

It's more like a love affair!   :top:

There are some things that I dearly miss living here in Bali...like pecan pie, Maine lobsters (the "real" lobsters with claws), cherry stone clams, Maryland crab, the Oyster Bar at Grand Central, and most of all, a thick juicy USDA prime rib eye steak. 

Regarding mosquitos, the Balinese have a really good trick for that, and it's simple.  Plant lemon grass around the perimeter of your yard.  Those buggers hate lemon grass, and while a few will make it past, we rarely have anyone in our compound bitten by them.  We neither have the need for creams or nets, and that lemon grass is a nice touch in a lot of dishes too. 

Cheers, and enjoy your move.

Off topic but I have heard that growing pyrethyrum daisies also does the trick for keeping the little biters at bay.
