The New Zealand government is vaccinating over 2,400 RSE workers from Pacific Island nations against measles, mumps, and rubella to protect both the workers and their families from potential outbreaks. Immunization clinics in Hawke's Bay have vaccinated 1,205 workers since August, with plans to continue the initiative until April 2025. The effort aims to prevent measles outbreaks in New Zealand and the workers' home countries.
