Wondering if you're immune to measles? Here's how to find out. 👇🏽

If you were born or lived in NZ before 1969 you are likely immune to measles. This is because before this time there were no measles vaccines. Most people were infected with measles during childhood. If this isn’t you, there are several other ways to check your measles immunity:
✅ Ask your doctor – They may have records of your immunisations or blood test results. You can also check your online patient portal (like Manage My Health or My Indici).
✅ Check My Health Record – This secure site holds immunisation records from 2005 onwards. You can request a copy or ask your doctor to update it.
✅ Check your Well Child or Plunket book.
✅ Call your local lab – If you've had a measles immunity test before, you can request a free printed copy of your results.
✅ Contact travel clinics or overseas providers – if you were immunised abroad or through a travel clinic, ask for your records.

Not sure what your records mean? Talk to your healthcare provider to confirm your immunity. If you can’t find any records, get immunised. It is safe to have another dose of the vaccine even if you are immune.
