Not sure if you’re protected against measles? Your vaccination status may vary depending on your age.

Check out the latest info or give us a call for advice.
We are vaccinating Mon to Friday (times may vary, please call for an appointment or to check your eligibility).

Measles spreads fast. Protect your whānau and community.

Check that everyone in your whānau is up to date with their MMR vaccinations. Staying protected helps keep tamariki, kaumātua and those most at risk safe.

🌸 September is Cervical Screening Awareness Month! 🌸

Every year, around 180 people in Aotearoa are diagnosed with cervical cancer. Shockingly, 85% of them have never been screened or have not had regular screening.

Detecting cervical cancer early with cervical screening gives you a greater chance at a cure, and can also detect changes in your cervical cells that suggest cancer may develop in the future. ⁠

And now, with the HPV self-test, it’s easier, more private, and just as effective.

If you or a loved one is due or overdue for screening, make a booking now. You can visit your GP, nurse, Family Planning, sexual health clinic, or a mobile/community health clinic. 🩷
