Measles is circulating in Aotearoa – are you and your whānau protected?
Two doses of the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine protect about 99% of people.
Free for under-18s and adults eligible for funded care.
If you’re unsure whether you’ve had both doses, we can help you check and catch up if needed.
If you have a fever and a rash, please call us before coming into the practice – measles spreads very easily.
Let’s keep our whānau and community safe.
