Overview
- Regional health authorities report 53 deaths of children under five, and Peru's national CDC identifies Loreto as the hardest-hit region.
- Officials say cases peaked in epidemiological week 49 and have shown a sustained decrease through week 51.
- Five rural districts — Andoas, Barranca, Morona, Cahuapanas and Pastaza — account for 82.1% of reported cases.
- Vaccination brigades are reaching isolated communities, providing information in local languages and locating children without identity documents.
- Authorities plan to request a sanitary emergency as arduous travel times of 72 hours to 15 days and district-level coverage near 40% hinder rapid immunization despite higher regional averages.
