Mexico City rolls out emergency measles vaccines at transit hubs and markets
Mexico City has launched an urgent measles vaccination campaign across key transit points and public areas. Authorities are responding to a recent rise in cases by expanding access to immunisations in busy locations. So far, no confirmed measles cases have been reported in the capital since the outbreak began.
The campaign covers multiple transport hubs, including Metro, Metrobús, and Cablebús stations. On Metrobús Line 1, kiosks are now operational at Caminero, Santa Úrsula, Ayuntamiento, Corregidora, and Villa Olímpica. Vaccines are also available at the Central de Abasto wholesale market, one of the city's busiest trading centres.
Each borough has designated vaccination sites and schedules. Residents in Álvaro Obregón, Iztacalco, Venustiano Carranza, Tláhuac, Cuauhtémoc, Azcapotzalco, and Gustavo A. Madero can access jabs at local stations during specified times. The government has confirmed sufficient vaccine stock to meet the increased demand.
Federal and local officials, including David Kershenobich, Nadine Gasman Zylbermann, and Mayor Clara Brugada, are actively promoting the drive. They stress that widespread vaccination is critical to halting the spread of measles in the city.
The expanded campaign aims to reach as many residents as possible through high-traffic locations. With no confirmed cases in Mexico City yet, health authorities are pushing for high uptake to prevent an outbreak. Vaccination points will remain open at transit stations and markets until further notice.
