VIDEO: Matua’s immunisation message

He dazzled on the rugby pitch, and now Matua Parkinson has chimed in to promote the welfare and health of the nation's children.

The dynamic open-side Blues flanker and NZ Sevens squad member is now one of 'the faces” of the Bay of Plenty District Health Board's immunisation programme.

Matua is a popular and respected member of the Health Board and is using his profile to support the board's push to have 95 percent of all young children vaccinated against diseases like measles, mumps and whooping cough by the end of the year.

Matua is the father of three vaccinated boys and his catch cry is: 'Immunise on time and every time.”
