Overview
- Mexico reports more than 7,100 confirmed measles cases and 24 deaths since 2025, with over 90% of infections in people without prior vaccination.
- Health authorities say 23,529,075 doses are available and 11,853,684 have been administered, a stock they describe as sufficient for roughly two years.
- Epidemiological rings covering 25 city blocks around each case, expanded eligibility up to age 49, and an early “dose zero” for infants 6–11 months are central to the containment plan.
- Current hotspots are Jalisco and Chiapas, with additional activity in Michoacán and Guerrero, while Chihuahua’s earlier surge is reported as largely controlled.
- PAHO granted a two‑month window and will review Mexico’s measles‑free status in April; vaccines are free at IMSS, IMSS‑Bienestar, ISSSTE and state clinics, with the 079 hotline for guidance.
