Peru's Ministry of Health is mobilizing 23 brigades to Loreto to control a measles outbreak, with vaccination campaigns targeting at-risk populations. The scale of the outbreak and current case counts remain unspecified, but the rapid response suggests active transmission. This is a public-health emergency response in a region with historically low vaccination coverage.
