Measles
Measles is a serious disease that can make you very sick. Getting immunised is the best way to protect you, your whānau and community from catching and spreading measles.
If you’re aged 18-34, you may not have been fully vaccinated against measles.

To continue to help protect people from the spread of COVID-19 during the spring and summer seasons - when people come together socially more often, there are more large-scale public events and people move around the country in bigger numbers - we are reminding everyone that free face masks and rapid antigen tests (RATs) remain available for pick up from participating RAT collection centres until 29 February 2024.

Ngā Tātai Ihorangi provides health services for the first 2000 days of a tamariki life. Immunising our tamariki against vaccine preventable diseases not only protects them but also others in the community, those who cannot be immunised or have low immunity.
Key points to remember about immunisation:
In the past, diseases such as diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough killed many children. Today, we use vaccines to immunise children against these and other diseases.
Immunisation has wiped out some of the killer diseases of childhood in New Zealand.
But, these diseases still exist in other countries.
The National Immunisation Schedule is designed to provide the best protection for our tamariki, their whānau and the hapori whānui (wider community).
Immunisations are free and normally provided at your Te Whatu Ora, Māori Health Service, Community Health Centre or GP practice.
Once pēpi is a few weeks old, you should receive a welcome letter or text encouraging you to make an appointment at six weeks for pēpis first immunisations.
If you are undecided about vaccination, please have a discussion with the practice nurse or visit www.immune.org.nz and/or call 0800 IMMUNE.
