The MMR vaccine protects you against 3 viral infections – measles, mumps and rubella. The vaccine is a live vaccine, which is made using live mumps, measles and rubella viruses that have been weakened (or attenuated).
After vaccination, the weakened vaccine then teaches your immune system to recognise the virus, so it knows how to attack if it ever comes across it.
Tamariki need two doses of the MMR vaccine to be fully protected. These vaccinations are free. The first dose is generally given to children around 9-15 months of age, with a second dose at 15 months to 6 years of age, with at least 4 weeks between the doses.
If you're aged 18 or over, you can still get free immunisation against measles, mumps and rubella. The vaccine is free for everyone born from 1 January 1969 onwards who hasn't already had two recorded doses.

Shingles is caused by the same virus as the chickenpox, so if you’ve had chickenpox – and 97 percent of New Zealanders have – then you’re at risk of getting shingles.
Shingles is a painful, itchy, blistering skin rash that usually appears on one side your chest and back, but can also affect one of your legs or one side of your face. Shingles is caused by varicella-zoster virus (the same virus that causes chickenpox). Your risk of getting shingles increases as you get older.
The shingles vaccine reduces your risk of getting shingles and, if you do get shingles, reduces the chance of developing complications.
The shingles vaccine is available to anyone 50 years and older but only free (funded) for people who are 65 years of age.
