As many of you will be aware we have had an outbreak of measles in several parts of New Zealand.
Measles is an acute respiratory illness caused by the measles virus. Measles is considered the most infectious viral illness transmitted through the respiratory route.
Now is a good time to check you and your family are fully vaccinated.
If you have 2 recorded MMR vaccines you will be protected. Otherwise for those born after 1969 (12mth – 56yrs old) you are eligible to have 2 free MMR vaccines.
Please check your health records ( well child/plunket books) or contact the nurses so we can check records.
