Mexico launches winter vaccination campaigns for influenza and COVID-19

Health authorities in Mexico are launching winter vaccination campaigns to combat respiratory illnesses. In Oaxaca, the winter 2026-2027 campaign begins on October 12, with over 957,000 doses of influenza and COVID-19 vaccines available. The program, which runs until April 2027, prioritizes children under five, seniors, and patients with chronic conditions.

In Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, the Municipal Health Board is coordinating preventive actions against seasonal viruses, including influenza, COVID-19, and pneumococcus. Local authorities are also working to reinforce measles vaccination campaigns and early detection for breast cancer, while advancing a project to establish 24 universal health clinics in the capital.
