Mexico City launches measles vaccine blitz at transit hubs and markets

Mexico City has ramped up measles vaccination efforts across major transit points. The move comes as authorities push to prevent a rise in cases. Vaccines are now available at key Metro, Metrobús, and Cablebús stations, with health officials urging residents to get protected.

Vaccination kiosks have been set up at select stations, including parts of Metrobús Line 1. The campaign also covers other public transport hubs, with a rotating schedule across different boroughs. Each location operates at specific times to reach as many commuters as possible.

Beyond transit points, health teams are going door-to-door in neighbourhoods. Additional vaccination modules have been placed in busy areas like the Central de Abasto wholesale market. Officials confirm the city has enough vaccine doses to meet current demand.

Federal and local authorities are stressing the importance of immunisation to stop measles from spreading. While no confirmed cases have been reported in Mexico City so far this year, the campaign aims to keep transmission risks low.

The expanded vaccination drive targets high-traffic areas and residential zones. Residents can now access free measles jabs at transit stations, markets, and through home visits. Authorities continue to monitor the situation while ensuring vaccine availability remains steady.
