Measles vaccination campaign way off target

Measles vaccination campaign way off target Rowan Quinn © RNZ / Rowan Quinn A vaccination campaign to prevent another dangerous measles epidemic has reached only a small fraction of its target as district health boards (DHBs) struggle in the wake of Covid-19. The government launched a campaign in July to vaccinate hundreds of thousands of 15 to 30 year olds who were not properly immunised as children, and who leave the country vulnerable to another outbreak. But half way through the year long campaign, only about 3 percent of them have had a jab. Many district health boards said they were struggling in the face of Covid commitments, with some reaching fewer than 100 young people since July.
