I'm looking to buy a portable office to sit on my section that I can sell at a later date. Currently renovating and have no room inside my home. Is anyone selling an old sleep out or tiny house? Any suggestions would also be appreciated.

Protect your child against most HPV cancers

Ministry of Health

In 2017, free HPV immunisations were extended to boys for the first time, with about two thirds of parents choosing to immunise their children through their school immunisation programme.

HPV-related cancers take a long time to develop. The viruses are mostly transmitted in adolescence but often aren’t diagnosed until later. That’s why it’s important for children to be immunised when they’re young.

Around 80% of people will be exposed to HPV in their lifetime. Immunisation can significantly reduce HPV-related harm. Protecting all children before they’re exposed to HPV will protect their health in the future.

Free HPV immunisation at school or from your GP. For more info visit: www.health.govt.nz/hpv
