Indonesia

With over 17,000 islands, Indonesia offers an extraordinary range of experiences for travelers. On the iconic island of Bali, visit stunning beaches and sacred water temples, or venture to Borneo’s rainforests to encounter orangutans in their natural habitat. Head to Komodo Island to marvel at the world’s largest lizard, the Komodo dragon, or explore the Buddhist masterpiece of Borobudur, one of the world’s largest temples. Indonesia’s diversity extends to its people and culture, with hundreds of ethnic groups and languages contributing to its vibrant heritage. Whether navigating the bustling streets of Jakarta, relaxing in Lombok’s serene landscapes, or diving in Raja Ampat’s underwater paradise, Indonesia offers endless opportunities for adventure, relaxation, and discovery.

Common Medications

Preparing for a trip to Indonesia involves packing essential medications to safeguard your health. Antimalarial medications like Malarone or Doxycycline are recommended for certain regions where malaria transmission occurs. Antibiotics like Azithromycin can be helpful for treating traveler’s diarrhea, a common ailment caused by contaminated food or water. Additionally, carrying motion sickness tablets, pain relievers, and basic first-aid supplies is advisable for both urban exploration and more remote adventures. Runway Health’s streamlined service ensures you have access to FDA-approved medications before your journey begins, so you can travel confidently.

Immunizations & Vaccinations

Before traveling to Indonesia, ensure that you’re up to date on routine vaccinations such as MMR, tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis, and influenza. Hepatitis A and B vaccines are strongly recommended, as both diseases can be contracted through contaminated food, water, or close contact. Typhoid vaccination is also suggested, especially if you plan to visit rural or less developed areas. Rabies vaccination may be worth considering for those engaging in activities involving wildlife or in areas where medical care is less accessible. Finally, consult a healthcare provider about precautions against mosquito-borne illnesses like dengue fever and Japanese encephalitis.
