Measles outbreak is on the rise in Counties Manukau - please get vaccinated!

The Team from Counties Manukau Health

The measles outbreak is on the rise here in our community.

It’s more important than ever for you and your whaanau to get immunised against measles to stop it from spreading. Measles is a highly contagious virus that can make adults and children very sick.

Please protect you and your whaanau by getting the measles vaccination. It's free from your doctor.

Click the link below to watch a message from Regional Pacific Nurse Case Manager Arieta Fa’apesolo Mu’aulama and Fanau Ola Senior Social Worker Sitela Vimahi on more information on getting vaccinated and what to do if you think you've got measles.

For our Pacific whaanau, we've also got the video available in:

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is being pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?
