Reference excerpt

Vaccination in Mexico includes the use of vaccines in advancing public health. Mexico has a multi-year program for immunization of children. The immunization of children is fully covered by the government of Mexico. Mexico has an adverse events committee to monitor the adverse effects of vaccination as well as a standing technical advisory group on immunization.

COVID-19 vaccination

In Mexico, 4% of individuals received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine as of March 2021. Wealthy Mexicans were reported to travel to the neighboring United States for receiving their vaccinations. In March, the White House announced that four million doses of COVID-19 vaccines manufactured in the United States will be sent to Mexico. In a survey conducted in March 2021, 52% of Mexicans said that they were willing to get vaccinated against COVID-19, 20% said they were not sure and 28% said they would not get vaccinated. As of early October, children's COVID-19 vaccination programs began, but only for those with medical conditions, yet when asked in an open survey, parents were highly interested in having their children vaccinated. Nonetheless, parents did express levels of concern involving their children developing adverse effects from the vaccine. On April 20, 2021, President López Obrador televised himself receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine.

National vaccination plan The national vaccination plan against COVID-19 has been planned as below in Mexico:

December 2020 – February 2021: Health workers dealing with COVID February – April 2021: Other health workers and people 60+ years of age April – May 2021: People 50–59 years old May – June 2021: People 40–49 years old June 2021 – March 2022: People 19–39 years old (children under 18 are exempted from vaccination)

Authorized vaccines The following vaccines are authorized by the Mexican government for use against COVID-19 (approval date in parentheses):

BNT162b2 by Pfizer Inc./BioNTech (December 11, 2020) AZD1222 by AstraZeneca/Oxford University (January 4, 2021) Sputnik V by the Gamaleya Institute (February 2, 2021) Ad5-nCoV by CanSino Biologics Inc. (February 9, 2021) CoronaVac by Sinovac Research and Development Co. (February 9, 2021) Covaxin by Bharat Biotech/Indian Council of Medical Research (April 6, 2021)

Routine vaccines The recommended vaccine schedule for children in Mexico contains vaccinations against sixteen vaccine preventable diseases. Vaccine doses administered in Mexico are usually valid in the United States. The immunization schedule for children in Mexico is as follows:

In addition, Vitamin A supplements are offered to all children aged 6 to 59 months.

Vaccine coverage The vaccine coverage of various vaccines in Mexico are as follows, according to the most recent survey conducted by the World Health Organization in 2014:

According to the statistics from the World Health Organization (WHO), no cases of diphtheria, measles, polio or yellow fever were reported in Mexico in 2019. However, mumps and pertussis cases are on the rise in Mexico, with 8009 and 874 children reportedly having contracted mumps and pertussis respectively in 2019. There was an increase in tetanus cases from a total of 23 in 2018 to 35 in 2019.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Vaccination in Mexico

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Vaccination in Mexico claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Vaccination in Mexico before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Vaccination in Mexico ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Vaccination in Mexico

In research: Vaccination in Mexico appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Vaccination in Mexico in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Vaccination in Mexico is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Healthcare in Mexico, Vaccination by country, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Vaccination in Mexico outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
