Are you aged 15-30? MMR vaccine is available now.
Lots of people aged between 15 and 30 years didn’t get fully immunised when they were children. This puts you at risk of catching and spreading measles, which is a serious illness 8 times more contagious than COVID-19.
You can ask your doctor, parent or caregiver if you had two doses of the MMR vaccine as a child.
If you or they don’t know, it’s best to get immunised. It’s safe to have an extra dose of the MMR vaccine.
You can get immunised for FREE at your family doctor or local pharmacy. MMR protects against Measles, Mumps and Rubella.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
