Mexico City ramps up measles vaccinations at transit hubs and markets

Mexico City is stepping up measles vaccination efforts as cases rise across the country. Authorities have launched a targeted campaign at busy transit points, urging residents to get immunised. The move comes after national health data reported over 7,000 infections in the past year alone.

Vaccination teams are now operating at major transport hubs, including Metro, Metrobús, and Cablebús stations. Kiosks have been set up at select stops, offering free jabs to commuters. The Central de Abasto wholesale market, one of the city's busiest locations, also hosts a vaccination module.

Door-to-door teams are visiting neighbourhoods in key boroughs, following a published schedule. Health officials confirm that vaccine supplies remain sufficient to meet demand. Local and federal authorities have jointly called for wider participation to slow the spread of measles.

The campaign aims to boost immunity in high-traffic areas where transmission risks are higher. Residents can check official updates for vaccination times and directions in their boroughs. With over 7,000 cases reported nationwide, health officials stress the importance of timely immunisation.
