Japanese encephalitis vaccine Bali: Imojev (WHO-prequalified, live attenuated) administered at hotels, villas, and retreats by licensed doctors. Single dose for most adults. Recommended for: rice field areas, jungle retreats, rural trekking, long stays near farming communities. From IDR 1,200,000. Available island-wide. Doctor consultation included.
Japanese encephalitis is rare but has a 20–30% fatality rate. Survivors commonly have permanent neurological damage. One dose provides long-lasting protection — a small investment for significant risk reduction for rural Bali travelers.

Key facts
Who needs a booster?
⚠️ Not suitable for:
Timing note
Attending a 21-day yoga and silent meditation retreat in the rice field area north of Ubud. Villa surrounded by active paddy fields with evening outdoor meditation sessions. Doctor to the retreat center before the program began: JE vaccine recommended given the location, duration, and evening outdoor activity. Single dose Imojev administered. Doctor also advised evening long-sleeve policy and DEET repellent — JE mosquitoes are most active at dusk. Participant completed the program without incident.
Planning a 10-day cycling route through rural Bali — Tegalalang, Kintamani, Munduk, Sidemen. Route passes through rice fields, village farming areas, and pig farming communities in the highlands. Even though 10 days is under the 1-month threshold, the intensity of rural exposure (evening cycling, outdoor dining in villages) warranted JE vaccine recommendation. Doctor administered Imojev at the hotel in Canggu three weeks before departure — sufficient time to develop immunity before the rural section began.
Relocating to Ubud for one year — both parents and two children. Doctor to the Ubud villa for the full family: parents received Imojev single dose each. Children aged 5 and 8: primary dose plus booster scheduled 12 months later. All four in one villa visit. Doctor also reviewed overall travel vaccination history — topped up tetanus and hepatitis A for both adults. Comprehensive travel health documentation provided for school enrollment and insurance purposes.
Recommended for: stays 1+ month, rural or rice field areas, yoga/meditation retreats, trekking near pig farms, digital nomads in Ubud. Lower risk for short urban-only stays. Doctor advises based on your specific itinerary.
Single dose for adults 18+ (Imojev). Children 9 months–17 years: primary dose + booster at 12–24 months. Booster for adults after 12–24 months for ongoing high-risk exposure.
