Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo — The municipal government of Playa del Carmen has announced a free measles vaccination campaign scheduled for February 16 and 17, aiming to protect residents from the contagious disease.
The drive, organized through the Municipal Health Department, will take place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the plaza of the new city hall. Officials said the campaign will offer the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine for children according to the national vaccination schedule, and the MR (measles and rubella) vaccine for adolescents and adults with incomplete or delayed immunization records.
