Mexico Sees 30% Drop in Active Measles Cases as Vaccinations Surpass 30 Million

Jalisco now accounts for about 60% of infections, concentrating most active transmission in six municipalities.

Overview

  • Federal data to March 13 report 13,408 confirmed cases and 35 deaths nationwide, with 30,128,312 measles vaccine doses administered since January 2025.
  • A five‑week push delivered 13.3 million shots, which officials say coincided with roughly a 30% decline in active cases after a late‑February peak.
  • Jalisco reports 617 active cases with 59 recent infections and confirmed clusters across 37 schools, focused in Guadalajara, Zapopan, Tlaquepaque, Tlajomulco, Tonalá and El Salto.
  • Mexico City confirms 576 cases and two deaths, including a 7‑month‑old who was not vaccinated, as officials note about 69% of local cases lack documented immunization.
  • States expand access through fixed and mobile modules—such as Baja California’s mall sites and Michoacán’s ~1,000 weekly points—while guidance prioritizes children 6 months–12 years and un/under‑vaccinated people 13–49, with locations listed at dondemevacuno.salud.gob.mx and via 079.
