Clara Brugada, the head of Government in Mexico City, announced that the capital is set to achieve community immunity against measles by March, as over one million residents have already been vaccinated. The initiative aims to reach at least 95% immunity, which translates to more than 1.6 million vaccinations, in response to the ongoing measles outbreak affecting the country.

As of February 9, 2026, Mexico has reported a total of 8,899 confirmed measles cases and 28 deaths across seven states. The surge in cases emphasizes the urgency of the vaccination campaign led by Brugada and her team. She highlighted the importance of community participation and thanked the citizens for their patience and cooperation during this challenging health crisis.

Brugada's government is not only focusing on increasing vaccination numbers but is also collaborating with federal authorities to enhance public health measures. The ongoing situation underscores the need for heightened awareness and action to prevent further spread of measles and protect vulnerable populations in Mexico City and beyond.
