To confront the anti-vaccine movements in Mexico that have generated epidemiological alerts about measles in different parts of the world, civil organizations and the pharmaceutical industry formed the Alliance for Vaccination.
Save the Children, the Mexican France Mobile Number List Association of Pharmaceutical Research Industries (AMIIF), the Mexican Diabetes Association (AMD) and Sanofi Pasteur will seek to reach the population, mainly on social networks to promote and reinforce vaccination, given the risks of outbreaks of the measles.
Pro-vaccination in Mexico
María del Carmen Espinosa Sotero, pediatric infectious disease specialist at the General Hospital of Mexico, Dr. Eduardo Liceaga, assured that Mexico is in time for the anti-vaccine movements to not gain strength.
He highlighted that Mexico has a solid vaccination and investment system. He assured that the annual investment for the Universal Vaccination Program is six billion pesos and the Ministry of Health allocates three thousand 400 million pesos.
Pharmacies and CSOs in favor of vaccination
Mexico is a country with one of the best schemes, we must anticipate what is happening in Europe or the United States; We must raise awareness among the population to review their cards and think that vaccination is for all ages,” she said.
The general director of Save the Children Mexico, María Josefina Menéndez, warned that 30,000 children die each year in the country from preventable diseases, mainly due to not having access to health services.

For this reason, he emphasized that it is the government's responsibility to achieve vaccination coverage in areas where there are populations in poverty, since these families do not have the possibility of accessing health and preventive education.
One of the main actions of the alliance is the dissemination of information, mainly through social networks, with videos, messages and multimedia materials.
