Apologies if this has been asked previously.

What vaccinations are:

1) Essential
2) Recommended

Will be heading to Sumbawa + Ments + Nias so I guess some of these areas are dodgier than Bali etc.

Other than that healthwise I've heard I should pick up some first aid supplies (maybe when I get to Bali?) and some malaria tablets...

All the info you need. You'll need a prescription anyway so go to a doc and get advice.

Good first aid kit is important. Plenty of people who bring nothing and rely on everyone around them, don't be one of those people.
