Relocating abroad comes with plenty of paperwork, from visas and insurance to finding a place to live. Healthcare, sometimes, ends up lower on the priority list—until it's suddenly needed.
Beyond annual flu shots, adult vaccinations can help prevent illnesses such as hepatitis A and B, HPV, pneumococcal disease, tetanus, typhoid, and shingles. Some vaccines are recommended based on age or underlying health conditions, whereas others are required or advised before travelling internationally, particularly to destinations with Yellow Fever or meningococcal vaccination requirements.
Many of Indonesia's leading private hospitals and healthcare providers now provide adult immunisation services alongside routine medical care. Some even provide travel vaccination packages, International Certificates of Vaccination (ICV or Yellow Card), and pre-travel consultations, making it easier to prepare for your next trip without visiting multiple clinics.
Before you go
Not every vaccine is available year-round, and availability can vary depending on demand and stock. If you're planning to receive a specific vaccine—particularly travel vaccines such as Yellow Fever or Japanese Encephalitis—it's worth contacting your chosen provider beforehand to confirm availability and whether an appointment is required.
If you're travelling overseas, ask about an International Certificate of Vaccination (ICV), sometimes referred to as a Yellow Card. This official document may be required by certain countries as proof of vaccination against diseases such as Yellow Fever, and authorised vaccination centres in Indonesia can issue it where applicable.

Understanding the International Certificate of Vaccination
Planning to travel beyond Indonesia? Your destination may require proof of certain vaccinations before you're allowed to enter. This is where the International Certificate of Vaccination (ICV)—often referred to as the Yellow Card—comes in.
Issued by authorised vaccination centres under Indonesia's Ministry of Health, the ICV follows the World Health Organisation (WHO) format and serves as official proof that you've received specific travel vaccines, such as Yellow Fever. Depending on your destination, you may also need vaccinations against diseases such as meningococcal disease or polio before departure.
Not every hospital is authorised to issue an ICV, so if you'll need one for an upcoming trip, it's best to confirm this when booking your vaccination. Healthcare providers such as Mayapada Clinic and Bali International Hospital officially have ICV services for eligible vaccinations, while Indonesia's Balai Kekarantinaan Kesehatan (BKK) offices also administer international travel vaccinations and issue the certificate.
For the latest travel vaccination requirements, it's always worth checking with your destination country's embassy or consulate before you fly. Vaccination rules can change, and planning ahead will help ensure you have the necessary documentation well before departure.
