    The Ministry of Health says the measles outbreak isn't at the point where they'd routinely immunise babies under 12 months

    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-dollars.

    Ministry Public Health Director, Corina Grey. says allowing vaccinations earlier is a decision for health officials.

    She says they'll keep tracking the outbreak and the evidence, and encourage everyone eligible to get vaccinated.
