The virus returns and finds those who are not protected
The Baja California Sur Health Secretariat has just confirmed what many feared: three new cases of measles in Ciudad Insurgentes, municipality of Comondú. The owner Ana Luisa Guluarte Castro showed up to announce it.
The patients are a 28-year-old woman, a 30-year-old man and a one-year-old baby. Here is the fact that hurts: none had the complete vaccination schedule. The minor, who is not related to the adults, is already hospitalized in Ciudad Constitución.
“The three infections are considered imported cases,” explained Guluarte Castro.
The official explained that the people came from a town in Sonora where the virus is already on the loose. The woman tested positive by PCR; The man is treated as a “probable case” after a first positive antigen test.
And now what do the authorities do?
They activated the fast protocol. Health personnel have already put an epidemiological fence in the neighborhood where the infected people live and began a vaccine blockade in the area. Translation: they go house to house offering the dose to whoever is missing.
They also track all close contacts during the incubation period. Basic, but necessary.
What worries Guluarte Castro most is the pattern: the lack of vaccines. That is why his call is direct:
He recalled that children between six and 11 months old can receive the so-called ‘zero dose’ against measles.
And for the elderly, up to 49 years old, with an incomplete scheme: the recommendation is only one. Go complete it. The virus does not forgive carelessness.
