The Health Secretarythrough the National Center for the Childhood and Adolescent Health (Censia), seeks to apply 9 million vaccines to the population with an incomplete schedule in order to avoid diseases such as measles.
According to the dependency, the vaccination campaign 2024 will emphasize poliomyelitis (hexavalent), measles, rubella and mumps (SRP); measles and rubella in adolescents (SR), as well as those that prevent other infectious diseases.
