  We consider $\rho$ meson contributions to neutrinoless double beta decay
amplitude stemming from the hadronization of the short distance quark-electron
currents. These contributions are evaluated within vacuum dominance
approximation. The one and two $\rho$ exchange contributions affect the Fermi
transition nuclear matrix element in a way that lead to near cancellations in
the same chirality, left-left and right-right, short range amplitudes when
these new contributions are combined with the conventional short range
amplitudes, while the left-right amplitude almost triples. This then
necessitates the inclusion of $\rho$ exchange amplitudes in any
phenomenological study, like in left-right theories.
