We're seeing increased measles cases across New Zealand. If you're unsure about your MMR vaccination status, now's the time to check. Those who need the vaccine include: children (2 doses at 12-15 months and 4-6 years), adults born after 1969 without proof of immunity, healthcare workers, and anyone travelling internationally. Measles is highly contagious and can lead to serious complications. Protect yourself and your whānau, please check your vaccination status or get vaccinated to protect yourself and everyone around you. Let's keep our community safe together.
