Vaccination

Vaccination against poliomyelitis oral vaccine is now offered to all age groups not so far dealt with, that is to all adults and also to all adolescents not vaccinated at school earlier this year.

Times: 8.45 a.m. to 7.30 p.m., September 4 through 6.

There are No Injections. The vaccine, a pleasant tasting liquid, is taken by mouth from individual cups.

Although Salk injections may have been received, oral vaccination is still needed.

Not only does Oral Vaccine confer better Individual protection but it ensures Community Protection. Oral Vaccine establishes a personal resistance to the disease as well as preventing the virus from being transferred to others.

There will be vaccination clinics established by the Department of Health in the main commercial area of Wellington City and also in the suburban area.
