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

I thought the new water park was great but was just wondering what happened to the Donald Duck  statue that was in the paddling pool. Over the years all of my kids have had their photos taken with him and I can even remember seeing him when I was about five when I came over from Wellington on the ferry. Where is he? Hopefully he hasn't been disposed of. Surely they can find somewhere for him in the park. Anyway just wondering, can anybody shed any light???
