Chihuahua declares war on measles (and the Dorados join the team)
If you thought the only drama in Chihuahua was baseball, get ready: now measles is the villain of the season. But don’t worry, because Governor Maru Campos (yes, the one from the PAN) and the Dorados (yes, those from the stadium) stepped up to prevent this virus from becoming the new trending topic.
Vaccinations or failing: the new school requirement
It turns out that for the return to school, in addition to the backpack and notebooks, you will have to bring something else: the vaccination record. Yes, like the old days, but now with more pressure. The idea is simple: no vaccine, no school. The goal? Prevent classrooms from becoming an episode of The Walking Dead, but with snot instead of zombies.
And it is no wonder. According to the governor, 423 thousand Chihuahuas have already been vaccinated, which is equivalent to almost filling the Azteca Stadium… but with immunized people instead of screamers. Even so, there is still a long way to go, because measles does not forgive (and even less so to anti-vaccines, who, by the way, have no place here).
Los Dorados put on their… health uniform
This is where things get interesting. The Dorados de Chihuahua, those local baseball heroes, decided to change bats for syringes (metaphorically, of course). As? Setting up vaccination stations in his stadium and using his social networks to tell his fans: “Hey, get vaccinated, measles is not a game.” Nothing like a blast from reality, right?
But they are not the only ones. The State Agricultural Council also joined the party, signing an agreement to vaccinate day laborers and workers in the agricultural sector. Because, let’s be honest, if measles strikes there, goodbye avocados and even guacamole could be in danger. And that, friends, is already a national emergency.
The governor summed it up better than anyone: “Measles is not stopped by the government, we all stop it.” In other words, there is no point in complaining on Twitter if you don’t get vaccinated. So, if you are from Chihuahua and you don’t already do it, run to the nearest health center. Because, as a millennial would say: #VacunarseEsTrending.
