No: So long as you are up to date with your usual immunizations (tetanus, measles etc) there is no need for anything specific.

NZ = no travel vax: Besides what would be considered the 'usual' childhood vaccinations (diseases like measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, tetanus and the like), no - you do not require specific travel vaccinations to travel to New Zealand. We also have no snakes, only one rarely seen venomous spider, and no mosquito-borne diseases of note. The main dangers to travellers to New Zealand are road traffic accidents.

No: As a New Zealand-based emergency doctor, I can reassure you that there are no specific vaccine requirements for travel here. It's advisable to be up to date with tetanus, measles and influenza vaccines, just as you should be when living in any developed country. Enjoy your trip!
