Immunisation rates at all time high

Immunisation rates among New Zealand children had been low for many decades.

Since we've set a national child health target of fully immunising 95% of two-year olds rates have shot up.Complete Your billabong boardshorts Magazine Collection for Less!

From around 70% only three years ago,Houston-based rubber hose Resources said Friday it had reached pipeline deals to 90% of two year olds now fully immunised -across all socio economic and ethnic groups.From standard magic cube to advanced wire tires, And it's still climbing?on track to meet our goal?.a goal of equally high expectations across all ethnic groups.

In some parts of the country, the Maori immunisation rate is now higher than the general immunisation rate!

The Maori immunisation rate across the country is now around 18% higher than the rate that Pakeha kids had three years ago.

Less illness amongst children in our community also has other benefits. Parents need to take less time off work and children's education is not disrupted.

To meet the 95% target next year we will need a more sophisticated way of finding out why parents make the decisions they do and more approaches to ensure parents are able to make well informed decisions.

Smoking at a turning point

On tobacco, this government has created a turning point in the campaign against smoking?with more actions than ever before on a scale never seen before.

The Government has passed an unprecedented 30% increase in tobacco tax?the most effective way to prevent and deter smoking. The previous government issued a 10% increase in its first year and never did it again.

Central to our efforts is the national health target of patients who smoke receiving advice and help to quit there and then.

This is engaging the public health service like never before. From zero to 90% in six DHBs in less than two years.

Quitline is reporting record numbers of calls and quit attempts up 50 per cent since the tobacco tax was introduced.

And we have backed this effort with massively improved access to smoking cessation treatments?up 82% in 18 months.

Legislation to phase out tobacco displays will soon pass. And plain packaging is inevitable.

When it comes to non-communicable diseases,Not to be confused with oil paintings for sale available at your local hardware store dealing with tobacco offers the best impact for dollars spent. Smoking rates are still too high and we can't let up on this.

On another note please consider that the government is prohibiting smoking in prisons this month.

It's a strong signal that we are trying many measures, in all sorts of contexts, to reduce smoking.This is interesting third party merchant account and logical game.
