IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS
Tena koe,
As you are no doubt aware, there is a measles outbreak in the MidCentral district currently which has affected a number of schools.
Below is a link to an excellent short video about immunisation and measles, which has been developed for the current national outbreak. It covers some basic information about measles and actions to prevent the spread of the virus, including immunisation. We are keen to see this video message disseminated far and wide and ask you to consider sharing it through your networks e.g. school website, social media etc.

Thank you for your assistance in helping to communicate key public health messages in your communities.
Yours sincerely
Dr Rob Weir
