Indonesia does not require routine vaccinations for entry for most nationalities (a yellow-fever certificate is only relevant if you’re arriving from a country where it’s endemic). What matters more is what a travel-health professional recommends for your child’s age and length of stay.
Commonly discussed for longer or rural stays are hepatitis A, typhoid, and — for extended time in rural areas — Japanese encephalitis, alongside making sure routine childhood immunisations are current. There is no widely available dengue vaccine for young children, so mosquito precautions matter.
This is general information, not medical advice. See a travel-health clinic or your paediatrician well before you travel — ideally 4–6 weeks ahead — so any recommended vaccines have time to take effect.
This is general information, not medical advice. For anything specific to your child, please consult a doctor or a travel-health clinic.
