📅It’s Measles Immunisation Week! (3–7 November 2025)

Measles is circulating in Aotearoa.
Two measles vaccinations protect about 99% of people.

The vaccine is free for under‑18s and for adults eligible for funded care. Not sure if you’ve had two doses? We can help you check and catch up if required.

If you were born after 1969, you might not be fully protected. The only way to know for sure is to check your immunisation record and if you’re unsure, it’s safe to get vaccinated again.

✅ MMR vaccination is free for anyone eligible for public healthcare
✅ Protects against Measles, Mumps and Rubella
✅ Two doses = lifelong protection

📞 Phone reception 09 478 2878 to make a booking or speak with one of our nurses about getting vaccinated.

Let’s keep our community safe and stop measles from spreading.
If you have a sore throat, fever, runny nose, or rash call before coming in so we can keep everyone protected.
