You and your whānau can be immunised against a wide range of infectious diseases at any of our clinics. Many immunisations are free and help protect your long-term health.
Getting the Covid-19 vaccine is one of the main ways that you can protect your health and wellbeing during this pandemic. It is also an important step towards a return to normality. Everyone in NZ, 5 years and over are eligible.
Flu vaccination is the best form of protection against an influenza virus. The immunisation can't give you flu – it contains no live viruses. It helps prepare your immune system to fight against circulating influenza virus which is why it's important to get vaccinated every year.
A free cervical cancer vaccine is available for everyone, male and female, aged 9–26 years, including non-residents under 18. The vaccine protects against human papillomaviruses (HPV) that can lead to cervical cancer. For more information, talk to your doctor or practice nurse.
Shingles is a painful rash caused by the varicella zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. It's more common in older adults and those with weakened immune systems. Vaccination can reduce your risk of getting shingles and the long-term pain it can lead to.
Free routine vaccinations for children are important to keep your child and whānau immunised against diseases like measles, mumps and rubella. Children should receive free immunisations at six weeks, three months, five months, 15 months and five years.
