Mexico Expands Measles Response With Transit-Hub Vaccination as Cases Reach 7,624

Health officials will add pop-up sites in transit hubs to widen access to vaccination.

Overview

  • Mexico reports 7,624 confirmed cases across all 32 states and 26 deaths since 2025, including the first 2026 fatality in Michoacán.
  • Jalisco remains the epicenter with more than a thousand infections and a second local death, prompting joint IMSSISSSTE–state operations and intensified field work.
  • The Health Ministry says vaccine supply is sufficient, citing 27.3 million doses, and is scaling up extramural efforts such as house-to-house brigades and targeted “vaccination blocks.”
  • New vaccination points are planned for Mexico City Metro stations and bus terminals to reach high-traffic areas as officials note active clusters in Jalisco, Michoacán, Sinaloa and Guerrero.
  • Regional spread continues to draw scrutiny, with PAHO set to review in April whether the United States retains its measles elimination status.
