Subject line: Make sure you’re protected against measles

Preheader: Measles is a serious disease – are you fully immunised? 

Are you protected against measles? You need two doses of the measles vaccine to be fully protected and we know that some people born between 1989 and 2004 may have missed one or both doses.

If you were vaccinated, these doses may be recorded in your Plunket or Well Child Tamariki Ora book (if you have access to your copy). If you’re not sure, play it safe and get vaccinated. There are no safety concerns with having extra doses.

Measles is a fast-spreading disease that can make you very sick. About 1 in every 10 people with measles needs to go to hospital, and in serious cases measles can cause long-term health issues or even be fatal.

The good news is that the vaccine is very effective and is available for FREE at <name of location>.
