Protect Yourself and Your Whānau from Measles
Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can lead to serious complications but it’s preventable.
Vaccination is the best way to protect yourself, your whānau, and your community from catching and spreading measles.
You are considered immune to measles if you:
✅ Were born before 1 January 1969
✅ Have had measles before
✅ Have had two MMR vaccinations, with the last dose given over a month ago.
If you’re unsure or don’t have documentation, it’s recommended to get the MMR vaccine.
