***Sunscreen Application***
1. Most people apply less than half of the amount of sun Apply sunscreens generously; it takes at least six full teaspoons (approximately 36 grams) to cover the body of an average adult, this is over half a teaspoon of sunscreen to each arm and the face/neck (including ears), and over one teaspoon to each leg, front of body and back of body. This is the amount used when products are tested for their SPF (it equates to 2 mg /cm²).
2. Apply sunscreen to ALL sun exposed areas.
3. Get the timing right: sunscreen needs to be applied 20 - 30 minutes before sun exposure.
4. Reapply after washing or being in water; even water resistant sunscreen needs to be reapplied after being in water.
5. Sunscreen should be applied and allowed to absorb before application of insect repellents, moisturisers and make-up.
6. Store sunscreen out of the heat and check the expiry date.

Measles outbreaks continues to be reported across the world during 2019.
Ensuring protection against measles:
• It should be confirmed that children AND adults have received 2 doses of a measles containing vaccine which is usually the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine; if unsure or no reliable history get vaccinated
• Doses of MMR vaccine given prior to 12 months of age should not be counted
• 2 doses of MMR vaccine should be given irrespective of history of measles, mumps or rubella infection and/or age
• Infants from 6 months of age travelling to measles endemic areas or to an area where there is a current outbreak should receive MMR.
If the measles containing vaccine is given to someone who turns out to be already immune either due to previous infection or previous vaccination, will it do any harm?
No. There are no ill effects from vaccinating such individuals as they will have pre existing immunity that inhibits replication of the vaccine viruses.
***We offer vaccinations against measles with the combined MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine and may also have a limited supply of Single Measles Vaccine.***
