One in three infants is not immunised against pertussis. For Māori babies, more than half are at risk from the potentially deadly infection. As Helen Petousis-Harris + Hannah Chisholm (@AucklandUni) write, there are relatively simple things we can do. bit.ly/3LUK0xW

Tamariki can now get free protection from meningococcal B disease. Babies can have this with their regular immunisations. Even earlier protection is very important for Māori and Pasifika babies who have a higher risk of meningococcal disease. ⬇️⬇️ kidshealth.org.nz/meningococ…
