1/8 A little project I’ve been working on with an awesome team to support messaging on ventilation & support our public health response in NZ. Spread the word because #covidblows and we can make a difference if we ventilate. @airtimeforair

Vaccinate to protect pēpi.” ~ @rawirimj

Health professionals thinking of moving to NZ- the process just got a whole lot easier and extended to more roles. Come and work here! https://t.co/46Gqcwzjdz

@NiwaIan @NanogirlLabs @MBIEsci Excellent!

[Dr Katherine Stevens @KStevensHECON]

@hellomotorbike I’ve followed your tweets for a while. I hear you and get it. Just want to say how lucky the education profession is to have you. Kia kaha.

[KidsHealth NZ @KidsHealth_NZ]

Health professionals are extremely concerned about the low immunisation rates in tamariki in Aotearoa. We've created a QR code poster to make it easy to get to our immunisation content. Check it out👇🏾(& share it with anyone who might find it useful!)

Libraries are not nice to haves. They are core council services. They are not places to just take books out and not just digital either. Libraries are community hubs, our communities gather here,we have events there, storytimes, programmes, language week celebrations so much more

School should be one of the safest places a child can be.
Instead, NZ's business-as-usual policy for schools in the Omicron outbreaks had heavy impacts on children, staff, and whānau.
We can - must - do better in 2023.

It used to be called the 100 day cough, children cough in long bouts, then whoop/vomit at the end
Babies can cough until they go floppy & blue. Imms are effective and free.
Pregnant mums can be vaccinated, babies at 6 wk, 3 mo, 5 mo. Boosters at 4y and 11y https://t.co/piMY7F5NoO

A special moment. Last night upon my return from Fiji, I brought with me 34 Fijian Defence and Emergency Personnel to help with the floods and cyclone clean-up. It is truly humbling to be on the receiving end of this level of love from all our Pacific aiga. 🇳🇿🇫🇯

Measles has arrived in Aotearoa. It's a serious disease and very easy to catch. Make sure your kids are immunised against measles. Talk to your family doctor or practice nurse.

Book your free MMR (#Measles Mumps & Rubella) vaccine through many local pharmacies. To find your local one, visit https://t.co/y4MwkT4B3a and type ‘MMR vaccine’ into the search box to see a list of pharmacies around NZ that provide this service. Call ahead, you may need to book.

A 'marketing playbook' pushes people towards formula milk globally.

Tactics include preying on parents' concerns and making misleading false claims, which come at the expense of the health and rights of children, women, and families. https://t.co/BB3vthQ3MW #ProtectBreastfeeding

For those unaffected in Auckland please don’t forget how bad this is. It’s rough.

We need your help. Please do what you can to help local orgs or donate.

If you know someone who’s been impacted, or a street close by is, please clear your weekend & go find out what they need.
