This week is national Immunisation Week and we’re reminding people to immunise throughout the lifespan, starting at pregnancy and moving through infancy, childhood, adolescence and older age.
So please, take the time to check with your GP that your whanau members, no matter what age, are up-to-date with immunisations following recent cases of mumps and whooping cough in Auckland – both preventable through immunisation. Immunisation is your best protection against the spread of disease.
Visit the Ministry of Health website(external link) for more information about immunisation.
