Always have an up to date Tetanus injection, I actually got mine yesterday. Most Doctors will tell you that you should get your Hep shots but you will need them 6 weeks prior to travel. Personally I've not had my hep shots but I would say most Doctors will advise you to get it, I got the lecture yesterday myself.
They may also suggest Malaria tablets but Bali hasn't reported a Malaria case in ages I don't think (don't quote me) and if you are staying in resort Bali and not in the hills, you should be fine with RID and go easy on the perfume/aftershave as that attracts mozzies. They do say RID is actually better than Aeroguard as it contains Deet or Deat? Whatever that is but its apparently better.
