It’s Measles Immunisation Week!
Measles spreads fast but the good news is, it’s preventable. This week is all about keeping our communities protected.

🛡️ The MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) is free for everyone under 18.
❓ Not sure if you or your kiddies are immunised? We can check your record for you.
📅 If you haven't received your two doses, give us a call and we'll sort you out!

Kia ora, we are currently experiencing some issues with our phone system, which may make it harder to get through to the practice. This is part of a wider issue affecting services across New Zealand and Australia, and it's being looked into.

If your call does not go through or gets cut off, please leave us a voicemail — our team will get back to you as soon as we can. Thank you for your patience and understanding while this gets sorted! 💙
