MMR (Measles Mumps Rubella) VACCINE CAMPAIGN
Please contact Reception to book a Nurse appointment to receive this vaccine. You will be required to have 2 doses of vaccines at least 4 weeks apart.
You will be advised to defer your vaccination if you have a fever on the day you plan to see the nurse.
Furthermore, all the vaccines (except shingles vaccine) can now be given at the same time or immediately before or after the COVID-19 vaccine.
As per The Immunisation Advisory Centre:
"All cases of measles seen in New Zealand are the result of non-immune people bringing the virus into the country from overseas. Very high coverage of this vaccine is necessary to prevent the spread of measles, in particular, and no vaccination opportunity should be missed.
After a single dose of MMR vaccine 90–95 out of 100 people will be protected from measles, 69–81 protected from mumps and 90–97 from rubella. After a second dose of MMR vaccine the number of people protected from these diseases increases, almost everyone will be protected from measles and rubella, and around 85% protected from mumps."
