Immunisations help to protect you and your loved ones from serious illnesses like flu, measles, and whooping cough, as well as COVID-19. With borders opening and winter on its way we need to get protected now.
Contact your GP or local pharmacy to check if you and your whānau are up-to-date with all your vaccinations.
Waikato DHB community and mobile vaccination clinics provide COVID-19 plus FREE flu and MMR vaccinations to those eligible.
For more information and to find a vaccination site near you, go to waikatodhb.health.nz/immunise or call 0800 220 250
