An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a recording of your heart's electrical activity. Electrode patches are attached to your skin to measure the electrical impulses given off by your heart, resulting in a trace that can be read by a doctor. It can give information of previous heart attacks or problems with the heart rhythm.

The National Immunisation Schedule offers a series of vaccines free to babies, children, adolescents and adults. Our clinic offers immunisations that are given by a practice nurse or doctor. Babies are routinely immunised for tetanus, polio, whooping cough, diphtheria, hepatitis B and haemophilus influenza type B, which are now combined in one injection. Immunisation for measles, mumps and rubella are also provided in one injection.
Each child has his or her own document to keep a record of their injections. Under the age of 5 this is usually their Well Child book. Immunisation details are also recorded on the National Immunisation Register. This information system holds details of all immunisations given to children in NZ. The computer will alert families when immunisations are due.
The influenza, tuberculosis (TB), hepatitis A and meningococcal A, C, Y, W135 vaccines are each provided free for certain eligible groups but can be purchased by other people if they want them. Chicken pox and rotavirus are also available but since these carry no government subsidy people have to pay for them. Reactions to immunisation are increasingly extremely rare following improvements in vaccine research and production.
