Measles Update
We’ve been made aware that there are several measles cases in the Wellington region.

The first symptoms of measles can look very similar to a cold, COVID-19, or the flu, which means it can be hard to recognise at first.

Early symptoms include:
• Fever (temperature of at least 38°C)
• Cough
• Runny nose
• Sore, red eyes

A rash usually appears 3–5 days after these early symptoms start.

• The rash looks like pink or red spots or bumps.
• It starts on the face and then spreads down the body.
• It may be harder to see on darker skin.
• The rash is not usually itchy and may last a week or more.

Measles can spread very easily and can cause serious illness. Vaccination is the best way to protect yourself and your whānau. For more information:

Are you and your whānau up to date with your immunisations?

If you're not sure, check in with your local health provider. Immunisation is the best protection from a range of illnesses that can lead to serious health complications for your tamariki.
