Measles update - click here for more information

28 October 2025

There are currently a number of measles cases in the Wellington Region.

‍

If you have any respiratory symptoms listed below, please don't come into the medical centre until it has been requested you do so:

- measles rash

- fever (temperature)

- cough

- runny nose

- sore or red eyes

If you have one or more of the above symptoms and want to be examined, please call us to schedule an appointment. We are still able to help you; we just need to take precautions to protect our community.

If you are not currently vaccinated for measles, now is the time to do so. Call us on 387 9758 to book an appointment with our nursing team or select option 3 and speak with one of the nurses for more information.

31 October update:

Vaccination remains the only protection method from measles. If you are wanting to see if you or your child is immunised against measles, you can view your vaccine history on ManageMyHealth or email us at admin@ebhc.co.nz please make sure to include your full name and date of birth in the request. To see if your child is vaccinated, in the first instance please refer to their WellChild book for their immunisation history.

We will update this page and our Facebook page with further updates or advice as required.
