Measles Update

Āe e te whānau, measles cases are increasing across Aotearoa as it spreads easily and can sometimes be serious. ✨Immunisation is your body’s safe way of learning to fight disease-a personal shield that also protects your tamariki, kaumātua, and hapori by reducing hospitalisations and long-term health issues.✨

If you or your tamariki have:
- fever
- cough
- runny nose
- sore eyes
- rash

👉 Please stay home, rest, and call your GP clinic for advice before visiting.

The MMR vaccine is free for everyone under 18, and for adults born after 1969 who haven’t had two doses or aren’t sure. Check your records or talk to your GP to be protected.
