Overview

• Governor Maru Campos signed a collaboration agreement with the State Agricultural Council (CEACH) to integrate producers into Chihuahua’s statewide measles vaccination campaign.
• Under the pact, farm associations must ensure that all day laborers receive their vaccine doses and immediately report any suspected measles cases to the Secretaría de Salud.
• Trained health teams will be dispatched to treat cases and administer missing vaccinations, prioritizing workers arriving from the Sierra Tarahumara.
• Campos cautioned that the imminent harvest season could fuel outbreaks in remote and indigenous communities, leading to preventable deaths without swift containment.
• CEACH president Arturo González Ruiz highlighted that the agreement builds on expanded agricultural support and aligns with federal efforts that have delivered over six million vaccine doses nationwide.
