Covid Boosters
Ongoing free additional COVID-19 vaccines are available for people aged 30 and over who are eligible for healthcare in New Zealand. People at higher risk of severe illness benefit most from additional doses. Talk to your healthcare provider to see if this is recommended for you.
Health NZ info available at:- Getting COVID-19 vaccines

Influenza (flu)
The flu vaccine is available from 1 April each year, before winter starts. We recommend everyone over 6 months old gets immunised against flu every year.

We have 2 vaccines available:
– InfluvacTetra (funded and non-funded) free or $40
– Fluad (non-funded only) $55

Measles
There is a risk of getting measles if you have not had 2 vaccines or have not already had measles. In Aotearoa New Zealand, the measles (MMR) vaccine is free for everyone under the age of 18 — it does not matter what your immigration status is. It is also free if you are 18 and over and eligible for funded healthcare.

Meningitis Vaccines
A reminder to the University students coming home for semester break, check if you need your 2nd Meningitis B vaccine (if not already had prior to leaving, or via Student Health). You can book a Nurse appointment for the 2nd vaccine before you go back, or book at Student Health – the 2nd dose is needed to be considered to have sufficient protection.
