Eligibility Rules Differ by Vaccine Type

According to Radio Fórmula, the influenza and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines will be available to anyone over 6 months of age. The pneumococcal vaccine targets people over 60 who have not received a dose in the past two years, while the measles-rubella vaccine is for people under 50 who have not been vaccinated in the last five years. El Universal noted that the campaign specifically aims to prevent these illnesses in adults over 60 and to combat measles, which still has high incidence in Mexico.

Registration and Appointment Blocks at salud.unam.mx

People can pre-register at salud.unam.mx/mega-centro-de-vacunacion/ or by scanning the QR code on campaign posters to speed up the process, El Universal reported. The online form asks for contact information, address, health history, university affiliation and the type of vaccine requested, and issues a confirmation receipt for preferential access, according to Telediario. To avoid long lines, attendees will be organized into two blocks at 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m., with a separate line for those who did not register.

Getting to the Stadium by Metro and Metrobus
