The Government's announced Auckland babies can get the free MMR vaccine from six months - ahead of their standard 12-month immunisations.
Associate Health Minster Julie Ann Genter says they'll still need to do their 12-month and four-year-old jabs.
Auckland University's Dr Helen Petousis-Harris says it's hoped we won't see an outbreak like this again.
She says because the disease is becoming less common there's probably no need to go down that road.
