Overview
- The outbreak remains active in Puno with regional health data reporting hundreds of confirmed cases, concentrated in San Román, and dozens of hospital admissions that show the virus is still circulating.
- Arequipa has moved from imported infections to documented community transmission and began a 'barrido' campaign this week to vaccinate about 240,000 people aged 6 months to 29 years as a containment barrier.
- The Ministry of Health set up free pop-up vaccination points across Lima Norte in late June to speed coverage for children, adolescents and vulnerable adults without requiring clinic visits or prior records.
- A four-case cluster in Tenerife was traced to an unvaccinated English child who vacationed there, prompting Spanish authorities to activate contact tracing and isolate contacts after one hospitalization.
- Public-health officials warn that immunity gaps in certain adult cohorts and remote communities leave Peru vulnerable, so rapid door-to-door vaccination and close contact tracing are being used to prevent wider spread and protect infants and pregnant people.
