What's In the news this week...

Canterbury health people are warning the public of an outbreak of measles. 4 people have had measles in the region in just over a week. There are two people recovering in hospital but none were fully vaccinated.  Also an 18-year-old university student in Dunedin was confirmed to have measles on Friday. The woman was not thought to be immunised either. Most of the people getting measles are not young kids because most of the young kids are vaccinated. 

I think it is very important to vaccinate because you can get very sick from measles.  What do you think about getting vaccinated?

It was possible people may not know if they are fully protected against measles, health officials say. (File photo)

Thank you for reading :-)
