Mexico’s Measles Cases Down Nearly 30% as Vaccination Drive Surpasses 13 Million

Health leaders target 25 million doses, intensifying efforts in states without clear declines.

Overview

  • Federal officials report 13.3 million vaccinations in roughly six weeks, with a goal of 25 million and weekly throughput near 2.5 million doses, peaking at 3.4 million.
  • Active infections are nearly 30% lower than three to four weeks ago following a late‑February transmission peak around February 21–24, with about 617 active cases currently reported.
  • Durango, Sonora, Puebla and Quintana Roo lack a sustained downward trend, prompting reinforced immunization, surveillance and localized control operations.
  • Vaccine availability remains broad nationwide, with roughly 20 million doses on hand to start or complete schedules for eligible populations up to age 49.
  • State rollouts show progress and variation: Jalisco reports a local decline of about 30% with more than 2.81 million doses applied, Michoacán has administered 896,523 doses, and Campeche reports few confirmed cases after meeting its vaccination target.
