The Southern DHB Measles Team took the ‘protect yourself against measles’ message to the inaugural Moana Nui Festival at Forsyth Barr Stadium recently.

Run by the Pacific Trust Otago, the Moana Nui Festival was the opportunity for Dunedin to explore, experience and celebrate the Pacific cultures in the city.

Part of the vision for the Festival was to create networks with social, health and education services to ensure resilience among our Pacific communities, particularly as we deal with the impacts of COVID-19.

REMINDER: Free measles vaccination clinics are available for 15-30-year olds every Wednesday in March at Wakari Hospital in Dunedin.
Bookings are preferred but not essential. Call 03 476 9875.
Alternatively contact your GP or participating local pharmacy.
