✅ The vaccine is free for under-18s and for adults eligible for funded care.

Not sure if you’ve had two doses? We can help you check and catch up if needed. Please email us at admin@ochc.co.nz, or phone reception.

If you have a fever and a rash, please call us before coming in — measles is very contagious.
