Have you seen this incredible video?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Wow, what a moon! Have you seen this time-lapse video yet? Local resident Tom Lee couldn't sleep from his jet-lag so instead he got out his camera and captured these images of the moon rising above Waikato.
Enjoy! 🌙 🌟

In 2017, free HPV immunisations were extended to boys for the first time, with about two thirds of parents choosing to immunise their children through their school immunisation programme.

HPV-related cancers take a long time to develop. The viruses are mostly transmitted in adolescence but often aren’t diagnosed until later. That’s why it’s important for children to be immunised when they’re young.

Around 80% of people will be exposed to HPV in their lifetime. Immunisation can significantly reduce HPV-related harm. Protecting all children before they’re exposed to HPV will protect their health in the future.

Free HPV immunisation at school or from your GP. For more info visit: www.health.govt.nz/hpv
