  • The campaign is coordinated by the Secretaría de Salud with Sedena, IMSS, ISSSTE, Pemex and partners, and vaccines are free.
  • CDMX reports six confirmed cases and about 409 suspected cases under epidemiological rings, with 360,000 SRP doses and roughly 1,000 brigadistas deployed.
  • Nationally, the SSA has logged 4,553 confirmed cases and 19 deaths through September 12, with 92.9% of infections in Chihuahua and spread across 97 municipalities in 23 states.
