A doctor leading New Zealand's medical response to the measles epidemic in Samoa says he's hopeful the mass vaccination programme is beginning to help.
Dr Alan Wright is the Clinical Team Leader for the New Zealand Medical Assistance Team 'Bravo', the second rotation to help in Samoa with the outbreak.
He is running the response at Leulumoega District Hospital, effectively turning it into a measles clinic with all other patients diverted elsewhere.
Jenny Meyer asked Dr Wright for an update on the measles situation in Samoa.
