Vaccination Information

Vaccinations

No vaccinations certificates are required to enter New Zealand. However, if within three weeks of your arrival you should develop any sickness, such as skin rash, fever or chills, diarrhea, vomiting or general illness, then consult a doctor.

Medical & Emergency

All emergency services can be contacted throughout New Zealand by dialling 111. New Zealand's medical and hospital services are both public and private but are not free, except as a result of an accident. Health insurance is strongly recommended. Check the telephone directory for medical services. Drugs or pharmaceutical suppliers after normal shopping hours may be contacted by referring to the urgent pharmacies listing in the 'Hospitals' section at the front of the phone directory.
There are no snakes or dangerous animals in New Zealand apart from the poisonous but rare Katipo spider.
