Hawke’s Bay health officials are urging parents to check their children’s immunisation status following three cases of mumps being confirmed in Hastings. One child was a student from Hastings Boys High School and the other two cases are adults.
Immunisation is one of the most effective ways of helping people stay well and free from many diseases. It is recommended by the World Health Organization, the New Zealand Ministry of Health and medical authorities. There is information here about the National Immunisation Programme.
Hawke’s Bay health officials are urging parents to check their children’s immunisation status during the school holidays following a second case of mumps confirmed in Hastings. Both cases are school-age children.

The Hawke’s Bay Health Fund has been set up by Hawke’s Bay Foundation with seed funding from HBDHB to support the health and wellbeing of our local community.
A host is anyone that receives or entertains other people as guests. When alcohol is served or if guests bring it with them, hosts have a role to play in ensuring that alcohol is consumed safely on their premises. Host responsibility is all about creating responsible drinking environments.
Events are social places where people get together to be entertained. Places where people enjoy music, watch sports, celebrate culture and share food. Whether your event is small or large, indoors or outdoors, you too can create a healthy event environment.
