Kia ora whānau.

We want to keep you and our teams as safe as possible. If you're in the Manawatū, Rangitīkei, Tararua, Waipā or Ōtorohanga areas, our team will be in touch as soon as possible to organise virtual sessions, if we can. If you live in other parts of the country affected by the weather, our teams will be in touch as soon as possible to organise virtual appointments if we need to.

Keep an eye on your local pages for more advice about services in your area. We hope you're staying as safe and dry as possible.

🚨 Several measles cases are confirmed in Aotearoa.

Measles spreads fast: the best protection is the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella)vaccine.

Plunket immunisation sites offer the MMR for the entire whānau. It’s free for pēpi (12months+), tamariki, rangatahi, and adults. You don’t need to be enrolled with Plunket, we can check if anyone in the whānau needs immunising.

Talk to your nurse or call 0800 184 803 to book your appointment. Taihape Plunket clinic runs immunisation clinics once a fortnight, 32 tui street. If a Plunket service is not available in your area, you can get your MMR vaccine through your GP or pharmacy.

Questions? Call Plunketline anytime day or night at 0800 933 922.

Let’s keep our whānau safe and protected💙
