Table of Contents
Guerrero, โMexico – August 20, 2025 – The Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) in Guerrero has initiated โa widespread vaccination campaign, extendingโ its reach to all residents regardless of their affiliation status. The “Life line” campaign, running โขfrom โAugust 8 toโค December 30, 2025, aims to bolster communityโ immunity and safeguard individuals against preventable diseases.
Aโ Proactive Approach to Public Health
The IMSSโ in Guerrero is prioritizing preventative healthcare with this intensive effort. The campaign seeksโ to provide essential vaccinations to girls, boys,โ adolescents, adults, โexpectant mothers, and senior citizens. โข This initiative underscores the importance of proactive health โขmeasures in a world where โฃvaccines โขremain a cornerstone of disease prevention. โ A โขvaccine is not just an injection.It is indeed an โฃact โฃof love.โ That is โคto tell your baby: ‘I โคtake careโฃ of you’.โ Isโ to protect your mother, your grandfather, your community,
expressed Marรญa del Carmen Flores Bello, IMSS Public Health Nursing Supervisor in โฃGuerrero.
Vaccines Offered Duringโ the Campaign
The campaign will administer a range of critical vaccines designed toโค protect against serious illnesses:
| Vaccine | Protects Against |
|---|---|
| Acellular Hexavalent | Diphtheria,โ tetanus, pertussis โค(whooping cough), poliomyelitis, Haemophilus influenzae type b, and hepatitis B. |
| DPT | Diphtheria, tetanus, and โคpertussis. |
| TDPA | Pertussis (whooping cough) in both mothers and newborns. |
| triple Viral (SRP) & Double Viral (SR) | Measles, rubella, andโ mumps. |
Did You Know? Pertussis, orโ whooping cough, is notably dangerous for infants,โข frequently enough leading to severe respiratory complications. โขThe โTDPA vaccine is crucial for protecting newborns duringโค their mostโ vulnerable months.
Protecting Future Generations: TDPA Vaccine in Pregnancy
A key focus of the campaignโ is the administration of the TDPA vaccine to โฃpregnant women between weeks 27โฃ and 36 of gestation.โ This โคvaccination transmits protective antibodies to the developing baby, โoffering vital immunity before birth.โฃ โค According to Flores Bello, It is the first defense that a baby receivesโ before birth. โThat maternal antibody is an immune hug: silent, invisible, but deeply loving.
This makes the TDPA vaccine one of the most significant preventative โmeasures during pregnancy.
