There is now a confirmed measles case in Auckland. So we need to watch out for our loved ones.

Measles is a highly contagious virus that can spread very quickly. It can be very dangerous, particularly for tamariki aged under 5.

The best way to protect your tamariki against measles is to get them immunised. The first dose is given at 12 months and the second dose at 15 months of age.

For more information about getting your tamariki immunised against measles:
• talk to your doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider
• call Healthline on 0800 611 116
• visit info.health.nz/measles
