DEATH SUX

I rushed behind this bus to see what the bus was advertising. DEATH SUX certainly got my attention.

New Zealand has an epidemic of meningococcal B disease. Since 1991, New Zealand has had over 5300 cases of meningococcal disease and 218 deaths.
Through the Meningococcal B Immunisation Programme the Ministry of Health is offering free immunisation to all babies, children and young people aged 19 years and under to help prevent this disease.

This bus is advertising this Immunisation Programme. What does it say:

Meningococcal-B. It’s quick and deadly. Get protected, call your doctor or nurse for free immunizations. For more information call free on 0800 20 30 90.

“MeNZB” is a prescription medicine. Advert put out by the Ministry of Health NZ.

Meningococcal-B.
Be wise – immunize!

Hello Janice!
Very beautiful and very so interesting sight!
You drive on the left like the English?
Very beautiful colors, the photograph is very sharp!
Bravo!

A well-spotted detail, Janice, and certainly a smart piece of advertising in this case. Vivid colors, and the panoramic cropping is a good choice as it emphasizes the shape of the bus, and also leaves some space for the bus to go into.

Interesting daily life photo. This caught my attention because of the colour scheme of the bus. I instantly recognised it as a Stagecoach bus, as I work for them in the UK as an engineer. I thought this looks like it was taken some time ago, as it's in the old Stagecoach colour scheme, but the photo date suggests not. Maybe NZ is a bit behind getting the new colours onto their buses, or haven't launched the new livery there yet.

Interesting to see you have twin axled buses there, not so common here.

Menigitis seems more prevalent here in the UK in recent years too. I wonder what is causing it, as it's not something you heard of when I was a child. Unless it's just that you hear of it more, as they're better at diagnosing it nowdays, and maybe it often got missed, or mis-diagnosed when I was a child?

A good daily life photo, not something you'd immediately think of taking a photo of, but there's something about it. Maybe it just hits a chord with me, with me being involved in it.
