Tlaquepaque Expands Measles Vaccination Push With School Brigades Through Dec. 12

The move responds to Mexico's measles resurgence, with 5,504 cases and 24 deaths reported this year.

Overview

  • Municipal authorities, the National Public Health Service, and Jalisco’s Health Ministry are coordinating the extended operation in Tlaquepaque.
  • Vaccination teams follow a day-by-day school schedule, with a mobile module set for Dec. 9–10 at the Centro Cultural Paseo de los Parques in Villa Fontana.
  • Services run from 09:00 to 14:00 and include routine childhood immunizations plus influenza shots for older adults.
  • The school brigades complement fixed vaccination modules that have been operating in the municipality since Nov. 7.
  • Health officials cite recent measles detections mainly in Jalisco and Chihuahua with 12 cases in Mexico City, as the federal ministry reinforces vaccination and containment during holiday travel.
