In the past, have only ever had the Hep. shots but last November I travelled with a friend who got thyphoid when we got back home...2 days after returning from Bali. I was shocked as I had never heard of anyone getting thyphoid in Bali. Upon further research with ex-pat friends in Bali, they said that thyphoid is not that rare. Bottom line was that I got a thyphoid shot before my next trip which was last month. My friend was so sick (and hospitalized) that I wasn't willing to take that risk. Before this happened I would have been like the other posters and said don't bother...what's the worry. Now I have a different opinion. I guess it depends on your risk tolerance as you don't require any shots to enter Indonesia.
