Could you have measles⁉️

Measles is highly infectious. This year in Aotearoa New Zealand we have already had cases of measles. The MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine is now free for adults as of 1 October 2025! After one dose of the vaccine, around 95% of people are fully protected, and after 2 doses, 99% of people are fully protected.

Book your free MMR vaccine today at one of our medical centres!

If you or your whānau feel unwell, you can call Healthline for advice and information about what to do next. Please don’t visit the practice if you feel unwell – call your practice before coming in.

As you may have heard, there has been several reported cases of Measles across the motu.

Thank you to the team at Health New Zealand - Te Whatu Ora for providing this helpful information on what symptoms to look out for and what action to take if you are worried that you or your whānau may have symptoms of measles.

With measles cases confirmed in Aotearoa New Zealand, it’s important we all stay alert. Symptoms include: high fever, cough, runny nose, sore red eyes, and followed by a rash.

📍 Locations of interest in Northland/Te Tai Tokerau, Queenstown, and Cromwell are listed here: http://spr.ly/6188A974r. Please check if you or your whānau may have been exposed.

🤒 If you or your whānau feel unwell, stay home, and call your GP/hauora provider or Healthline 0800 611 116 for free advice.

✅ Anyone who hasn’t had 2 doses of the MMR vaccine (including tamariki/children) should get immunised. This is the best protection.

🛡️ Protect your whānau and your whakapapa. If you're not sure if you had two MMR doses, your GP or hauora provider can help you check.

👩🏽‍⚕️ Drop-in immunisation clinics are running, find them here: info.health.nz/immunisations/immunisation-clinics
