I have just graduated school and am having extreme problems with Studylink trying to sort student allowance and student loan. My course starts in less than two weeks and I need some money to buy a reliable laptop with lots of storage for my course. I am and have been looking for a job for the past few months and have had no luck. I'm desperate for some work, and am willing to do some pet walking/feeding, cleaning, babysitting, tutoring, gardening, painting, anything in order to get some cash to help me sort things out for my course in the next couple of weeks.

From 2017, HPV immunisation will be free for everyone aged 9 to 26. That means boys can also be protected against some types of cancer.

HPV-related cancers take a long time to develop, the viruses are mostly transmitted by teenagers and young adults but often aren’t diagnosed until later. That’s why it’s important for children to be immunised when they are young. Around 80% of people will be exposed to HPV at some point in their life. Protecting children before they are exposed to HPV will protect their health in the future.

For more information about HPV immunisation, see www.health.govt.nz/hpv
