If anyone would like them sent out in hard copy to their postal address please pass on that information to Lorna and I will arrange that when I get home again.

All come from the Nelson region.
Dr Stephen Bridgman, Medical Officer of Health, urges people and parents to be vigilant and seek immediate advice from their GP if they or their children show symptoms.
He also urges pregnant women to book in for a free pertussis vaccination if they have not already been vaccinated.
“Whooping cough affects people of all ages, but can be very serious for infants ,” Dr Bridgman says.
Contact your doctor or practice nurse if you are unsure whether you or your family has been vaccinated, and book in vaccination if they haven’t.
Whooping cough is very easily spread in the air when an infected person sneezes or coughs.
Take a look at the symptoms on www.nmdhb.govt.nz...
