Manukaroa’s story follows her journey as a māmā of 4, starting with the difficult decision not to immunise her pēpi. Hear from her about the choices she made, and the weight of a decision she now makes differently. Her whānau story is a gift to us all, shared with the hope that her experience might help others on their hauora journey.

Common Symptoms
• 🌡️ High fever (over 38°C)
• 🤧 Cough, runny nose, and sore red eyes (conjunctivitis)
• 🌺 Rash that starts on the face and spreads down the body (lasting up to a week)

If you feel unwell, stay home and contact Healthline (0800 611 116) or your healthcare provider for advice.

⸻

🚨 If You or Your Whānau Suspect Measles
• ☎️ Call ahead before visiting your doctor so they can take precautions.
• 🗺️ If you’ve been at any locations of interest published by Health NZ and develop symptoms (even if they’ve gone away), contact Healthline urgently.
• 🔗 Check the latest updates here:
