In June 2019, the three Auckland DHBs again wrote to the Ministry of Health collectively recommending a national - not local - MMR catch-up campaign. Repeated calls from Auckland DHBs for a national MMR vaccination catch-up campaign fell on deaf ears. The focus, however, appeared to remain on business-as-usual rather than a national campaign to plug current gaps. THIS IS NOT BUSINESS-AS-USUALThe paper, which is described as discussing Auckland's needs for consideration in a national catch-up campaign, takes pains to make recommendations for success. The Ministry for Health has not confirmed a national MMR catch-up campaign will take place but also has not ruled one out.
