Protect your whaanau against measles
Measles is one of the most infectious diseases, and now with 9 confirmed cases in Auckland, it's more important then ever to make sure you and your whaanau are immunised.
If you're unsure if you've been vaccinated, please go see your family doctor, particularly for our rangatahi. Whaanau with babies and young tamariki, please make sure they're immunised on time - 15 months and four years. This ensures the best protection.
For more information, contact your family doctor or call Healthline on 0800 611 116 for free advice. Helpful info can also be found on the Auckland Regional Public Health Service website - link below.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
