Measles outbreak: Wellington schools, early childhood centres warned of risk
On Thursday, Regional Public Health (RPH) Wellington issued information sheets about the highly-contagious disease to early childhood centres and schools.
While there have been no reported measles cases in Wellington over the past year, RPH said the upcoming school holiday period – April 13 to 28 – meant families could be exposed. Read more here.
RPH was advising anyone who has not been vaccinated against measles to make an appointment for the jab at their local medical centre. The vaccination is free. Click here to find out everything you need to know about the outbreak.
Anyone who suspects they may have measles should stay away from work, school or public places to help prevent putting others at risk. They should also isolate themselves from family members who are not fully immunised.
