The Ministry of Health says the measles outbreak isn't at the point where they'd routinely immunise babies under 12 months.  We have 13 infections - and 2000 close contacts. Parents have worried vaccinating babies early can cost more than $200.  The Ministry's Public Health Director, Dr Corina Grey, says allowing vaccinations earlier is a decision for health officials. "We'll continue to track the outbreak and review the evidence - but encouraging everybody who is eligible to get vaccinated." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
