Are you sure you’re protected against measles?🌿

Measles spreads fast and can ruin your plans. If you’re not fully vaccinated, you’re at risk, and so are your mates.

✅ Two doses of the MMR vaccine = lifelong protection.

You can check your immunisation status by:
Vaccination Helpline 0800 28 29 26
Plunket/Well Child/Tamariki Ora book
Contacting your medical centre

📍 Easy to get at your GP or student health centre, vaccinating pharmacies or drop in clinics
If you aren't sure if you've had two measles immunisations, most people can have an extra dose to make sure they are protected.
Check your immunisation status today and book your MMR jab. Protect yourself, protect your friends.👯‍♀️

Measles is on the move in Aotearoa.

It spreads easily through coughing, sneezing and even being in the same room as someone infected. Measles can cause serious illness, especially in children and those who aren’t immunised.

If you’re unsure about your or your tamariki’s immunisation status, check with your GP, nurse or pharmacy today.
