Mexico Ramps Up Measles Response With Mexicali Weekend Drive and CDMX Pilgrim Clinics

Authorities target high-traffic hubs to raise protection before holiday travel.

Overview

  • Baja California confirmed a five-case family cluster in Ejido Nuevo León linked to recent travel to Chiapas, with all patients unvaccinated and recovering at home.
  • The state opened a weekend macro vaccination site at Mexicali’s FEX and deployed brigades to nearby ejidos, backed by an estimated 100,000-dose stock and federal support if needed.
  • Containment actions included workplace outreach, where more than 500 employees at a packing facility connected to one case received vaccinations.
  • Mexico City raised its total to 12 cases after five new detections and is conducting 50-block investigations around each case with house-to-house checks and reinforced vaccination in affected boroughs.
  • Starting Dec. 10, CDMX will install six vaccination modules for Basilica of Guadalupe pilgrims and run operations at the capital’s airport and bus terminals, while the national outbreak stands at 5,504 cases across 28 states as of Dec. 4.
