Bali: There is no compulsory vaccination for holidaymakers
There are no official guidelines or even a vaccination requirement for holidaymakers. Nevertheless, according to Gusti Ayu Raka Susanti from Bali’s Ministry of Health, safe travel enjoyment is only possible with vaccination. The Tropical Institute also recommends mosquito nets and mosquito spray to protect you from mosquito bites.
Dengue fever is caused by a virus that is transmitted to humans through the bites of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. There is often a significant increase in the mosquito population, especially during the rainy season, which is attributed to the increase in dengue cases. High humidity and standing water promote the spread of mosquitoes. As the mosquito population increases, so does the risk of transmitting diseases such as dengue fever.
