Health tailored to your route
Which vaccines, when prophylaxis pays off, where the dive chambers are — folded into your itinerary by people who travel here every month.
Health
There are no mandatory vaccines for Sulawesi. The risks worth thinking about are mosquito-borne diseases, food and water, and — for divers — decompression. Standard travel-medicine advice applies; talk to a clinic four to six weeks before you fly.
Recommended, not required
Routine boosters (DTP, MMR, polio), plus hepatitis A and typhoid for most trips. Hepatitis B, rabies, and Japanese encephalitis depending on activities and length of stay.
Patchy, not everywhere
Risk is low in cities and most coastal resorts, higher in the east-coast jungle and remote interior. Prophylaxis is a destination decision, not a country one — we'll flag the days when it matters.
Day to day
Drink filtered or sealed water. Dengue and chikungunya circulate year-round — repellent and long sleeves at dusk. Divers: nearest recompression chambers are in Manado and Makassar, plan dive insurance accordingly.
