A music festival is an unusual place to get a measles vaccination but Whanganui DHB is going anywhere there are young people to give them the chance to immunise themselves.
So last weekend's Sound Valley music festival was a great opportunity, with musicians and audience keen to get it done.
"We were just basically offering a pop-up clinic," immunisation coordinator Bruce Jones said.
"Anybody that was 15 to 30, if they had legs, a head and arms we would offer them and we would get them over and we would vaccinate them if they wanted to."
There'll soon be more pop-up clinics around the region:
• March 20 at the family fun day this Saturday, at Springvale Stadium
• March 26 for a Fono at Tawhero Born and Raised from 5pm to 8pm
• March 28 at the Marton Harvest Festival
