Chihuahua activates macro vaccination centers to stop measles

Chihuahua reinforces its health strategy with accessible modules to protect the vulnerable population.

Prevention is power! Chihuahua unites against measles

Imagine an invisible shield protecting your family. That’s exactly what vaccination offers! In a heroic effort to take care of its people, the Ministry of Health of Chihuahua has deployed macro immunization centers in squares and public spaces. The goal? Fight the measles outbreak and empower the community with scientifically proven defenses. And the best? It’s free and accessible to everyone between 1 and 49 years old!

Your chance to act is here

This weekend, the modules will be open from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm in key municipalities such as Chihuahua, Delicias and Rosales. Don’t you have your National Health Card? No problem! In these centers they will provide you with one. The state supervisor, Irving Morales, emphasizes: “This vaccine is safe, effective and globally endorsed.” This is your chance to give your body the immunological memory it needs!

The figures speak clearly: 1,940 confirmed cases, but here is the good news: only 14% required hospitalization. The majority are people with vulnerable immune systems: young children, pregnant women or immunocompromised. Therefore, each dose applied is a collective hug of protection. Did you know that vaccines are like personal trainers for your defenses? They teach them to recognize and defeat the virus before it attacks!

If you experience fever, rash, or conjunctivitis, stay home and seek medical attention. But better yet: avoid getting to that point! Prevention is the wisest path.

IMSS and Fonacot update agreement to improve services for workers

IMSS and Fonacot renew their alliance until 2030 to streamline procedures and protect labor rights.

Strategic alliance for labor rights

The Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) and the National Fund for Workers’ Consumption (Fonacot) signed a collaboration agreement that updates their exchange of information and services. The objective: respond to the current operational, technological and regulatory needs of both agencies.

The agreement was signed by Wendolyne Retana Alarcón, general director of Fonacot, and Luisa Obrador Garrido Cuesta, director of Incorporation and Collection of the IMSS. It will be valid until September 30, 2030, with the possibility of extending it for two more years.

The relationship between both institutions dates back to 2007. Since then they have maintained a constant flow of data to facilitate procedures and guarantee better credit and social security conditions for working people.

With this update, the aim is to streamline processes, reduce response times and strengthen the protection of the rights of the country’s formal workers.

Energía Costa Azul makes first shipment of LNG in the Pacific

First shipment of liquefied natural gas from the Mexican Pacific marks an energy milestone.

The Energía Costa Azul project, in Ensenada, Baja California, completed the first shipment of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the Mexican Pacific coast. The Sempra Infrastructure company confirmed that the shipment is part of the tests prior to the start of commercial operations.

International context

This movement occurs in a context of high demand for energy security. Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, through which nearly 20% of global LNG trade passes, have accelerated the search for new supply routes.

Strategic advantage

Sempra Infrastructure noted that phase 1 of the project will connect North American gas with Asian markets, taking advantage of the strategic location of the Mexican Pacific coast. Researcher Adrián Duhalt highlighted that the proximity to the gas-producing basins of the United States represents a competitive advantage for Mexico.

The diplomat reiterated that Mexico will maintain a firm stance in the defense of its compatriots in US territory.
