It’s more important than ever for you and your whaanau to get immunised against measles to stop it from spreading. Measles is a highly contagious virus that can make adults and children very sick.
Please protect you and your whaanau by getting the measles vaccination. It's free from your doctor.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
