A new case of measles has been found in Queenstown.

The case has no known links to the four cases in Northland.

The new case is likely linked to overseas travel and is currently in isolation, Heath NZ says.

Possible exposure locations and close contacts are still being identified.

Immunisation

Te Whatu Ora says getting immunised with two doses of the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine (after the age of 12 months) is the best form of protection against measles.

You can do this at a pharmacy, doctor, nurse or hauora provider.

It is free for anyone 18 years or under, and for people who are eligible for free healthcare.
