Measles outbreak - unvaccinated students told to stay home
Students who are not vaccinated against measles have been told to stay home from Manurewa High School.
The school has 13 cases to date, and those who are not immunised are asked to not return to school until September 2.
"You must contact attendance as per normal to inform us that you are not coming in, reason being you are 'not immunised'." If a student is immunised, they must bring proof, such as a Plunket book or medical records.
For more information, phone Healthline on 0800 611 116 or visit the ARPHS or Ministry of Health websites.
