Please ring and speak to one of our nurses if you have a query regarding early MMR vaccination.
The priority is for people requiring the first dose of MMR for immunity, with a focus on Pacific and Maori.
The Ministry of Health have provided the following recommendations regarding measles vaccinations:
Adults 30 years and over, are no longer eligible for MMR due to current stock limitations.
Infants aged 6–11 months:
Can have an MMR vaccination if:
• They are travelling overseas to a country with a measles outbreak.
• If a GP has deemed it is required.
• They will still require two doses of MMR vaccine from 12 months of age
Children aged 12–15 months:
• Are advised to receive their 15 month vaccinations earlier (from 12 months of age)
• If your child received an MMR dose under 12 months, there must be a minimum interval of 4 weeks between MMR vaccinations.
Children aged 16 months – 5years:
• If your child is overdue for their 15month immunisations – PLEASE book in for their imms as soon as possible
• All other children are recommended to receive their MMR vaccinations at 15 months and 4 years as per the Immunisation Schedule.
Children from 5 years of age, adolescents and adults aged under 50 years:
• If you don’t have two documented doses of MMR vaccine then MMR vaccination is required, however the priority is administration of MMR vaccine to people who don’t have any recorded doses of MMR vaccination to stop the spread of measles in our communities. We are currently only administering dose 1 due to limitations in national stock.
• For children and young people who are uncertain of their vaccination history, your general practice may be able to access this through their records or the national immunisation register. Please phone to discuss with a nurse.
Please note:
• If you are pregnant you are not able to receive the MMR vaccine.
• Casual patients 18yrs or older will incur an admin fee (this is not a charge for the vaccine)
ATTENTION: If you think you or your child has Measles PLEASE PHONE FIRST: Healthline on 0800 611 116 or call your General Practice. DO NOT turn up at your general practice, after hours or emergency department without phoning first. Follow ISOLATION precautions as you could potentially infect others
