🚨 RHEUMATIC FEVER AWARENESS
Rheumatic fever can start with a sore throat and, if left untreated, can cause permanent damage to the heart.
This is a reminder to get sore throats checked early, especially for our tamariki and rangatahi.
👉 If your tamaiti has a sore throat, please don’t wait it out — get it checked.
If in doubt, get it checked. Early treatment can help protect the heart. ❤️
