Mexico City Launches Weekly Zócalo Vaccination Module Running Through March 2026

The initiative delivers free seasonal plus routine shots through a weekly module tied to Zócalo Ciudadano.

Overview

  • An on-site unit on the Zócalo’s main square now offers influenza, COVID-19, pneumococcal, MMR and tetanus vaccines.
  • The module operates on Tuesdays during the Zócalo Ciudadano sessions led by head of government Clara Brugada.
  • Officials reported 1,692 attendees at the first Tuesday jornada, with 25 assisted directly by Brugada.
  • Shots are free through public providers including SSA, IMSS and ISSSTE, with Mexico’s 2025 COVID-19 campaign using Patria and Moderna.
  • The timing aligns with flu guidance recommending annual doses in the October–December window for priority groups such as older adults, young children, pregnant people and those with chronic conditions.
