Clinics told to give measles jabs to non-NZ resident children

Josephine Franks Reporter from Manukau Courier

Kia ora neighbours, New Zealand clinics are being told not to turn away any children in need of a measles vaccination, regardless of whether they are New Zealand citizens.

The advice comes after a toddler was refused an MMR vaccine by an Auckland clinic because he had a Samoan passport.

The law says schedule vaccines should be given to children under 18 regardless of their citizenship or immigration status.
