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

We are going to lose the new recycling depot! Where is the common sense? I could not believe my eyes. Food, shoes, an aquarium, polystyrene to name a few things. FIRE HAZARD!!!
Yes, I expected people to have a build up of recycling but it was not intended as a RUBBISH TIP! Being one of the battlers to get this facility I now wonder why I did it.
May common sense prevail! My understanding now is contractors have been called in to clean it up at a great cost to ratepayers.
To end on a better note before I lose the plot: THANK YOU to those who saw the dilemma and continued to the Lower Hutt depots to discard their RECYCLE.
