If doc home gives him Merck, get same in indonesia; if GSK, same same. Both brands are definitely available (pm if you need help re this).
Hep A requires two shots, month 1 and month 6th so he should get first shot if entire trip/assignment is only 8 wks, right? And do 2nd when he's back.
Nice hotels - no sleeping net needed if 5 star in Jkt.
We will recheck into the Hep shots. He has to go to an "International Travel" clinic through our local health department to get the Encephalitis and Typhoid, so we will ask them again if they will administer the Hep shots or if they will have a "problem" with it like our doctor did.
He is supposed to stay with the other International Techs at Hotel Horizon in Berkasi. I can't find much about it online, but it does look as if it might be a "Crown Plaza" resort (?). Maybe not 5 star, but close.
