Hep A/B for sure. It's good to have anyway, just in case.

No jab for dengue. Forget malaria, unless you're going to be in the jungle, sleeping outdoors, or near the borders. Best protection is to cover up and use spray.

Dengue is a problem here for sure.

Can't help you with Typhoid.

Hep A/B ... leaving without those vaccinations is irresponsible. One bad ice cube and your toast.

3

Tetanus shot is always good to keep up to date ad well.

Ask a doctor. Not this lot here. Hep B is spread the same as HIV and you can,t get HIV from an iceblock.

#4: +1!!!!!

6

No, but you can definitely get Hep A from an iceblock.

Hep A&B yes, but you're too late. The first is given six weeks before departure and the second two weeks before departure. If you have the third shot which is given six months after the first, you covered for over 10 years. Hep A&B is now a combined shot called Twinrix.
Typhus yes - again you're too late, it is given six weeks before departure.
Typhoid no.

Use an insect repellent with DEET ( 20% or 40% ) make sure you wash it off before going to bed. Best brand is Bushman's.

The question to ask is what is in those vaccinations they give you.

You probably do not have time to get Hep B, but you do have time to get Hep A alone. Hep A is two shots, 6 to 12 months apart. The first shot should be sufficient ot protect you for your trip, but you should be sure to get the second one. It makes immunity long lasting, perhaps life-long.

Hep B alone or the combined Hep A&B is a series of three shots--the second one is given a month after the first. You need the second shot to be protected for your trip. There is a fast schedule for Hep B that consists of 4 shots--0, 7, and 21 days, then a booster a year later.

Typhoid will either be one shot or a series of 4 pills taken every other day, depending on what you and your doctor choose. Let the doctor know if you are currently taking any sort of antibiotic. This could interfere with the oral vaccine. You don't need to get it 6 weeks in advance, but it is a good idea to get it as soon as possible. I just looked up some information on the shot. After 2 weeks over 90% of people produce antibodies. You need to get a booster every few years.

Although typhoid is usually treatable, it can be hard ot diagnose and there are drug resistant strains out there, so it may be hard to treat.

In some countries, a combined Hep A and typhoid vaccine is available. You need to get a Hep A booster after 6 months, to make that immunity long lasting.

Typhus vaccine is not available in many countries and is rarely recommended. Typhus is spread by body lice and is almost never an issue for travelers, unless you get stuck in a prison camp or some other place with lots of crowding and no hygiene.

you can get follow-up vaccinations for Hep A & B in Bangkok

I forgot this. There has been an outbreak of rabies on Bali. It is waning, but you should take any nip, bite, or scratch very seriously. Availability of the immune globulin & vaccine needed for post-bite treatment has been erratic. You should have a Plan B for getting to Singapore, Bangkok, or even Australia for treatment, in case you can't get treated properly in Bali. There is an excellent rabies clinic in Bangkok.

You do not have time to get the pre-exposure immunization, and it can be very expensive.

"Also, the diseases itself are very treatable with home care so I question if I should even bother."

almost all of the people who get Hep B also develop liver cancer later in life with a 5-year survival rate of less than 10%. the Hep B vaccine is recognised as the first vaccine against a specific form of cancer.

hep B is 100 times as contagious as HIV. according to the CDC, high risk activities for Hep B are sharing razors, tooth brushes, or gettting manicures/pedicures along with conventional body-fluid exchanges...

Hep B is endemic in many asian countries.
