Does that mean that permanent residents are eligible?

Anyone who is enrolled in the Mexican government's principal public health care services mentioned previously is eligible.

...

I'm afraid there's been some confusion. No one said tourists didn't need the inoculations.

Except for the OP who said "Tourists are ineligible, as they do not need it."

Excuuuuuuse me then, please, because I read "it" differently. Carry on....

My wife got denque fever while staying on Madeira at Las Brisas 4 years ago. Two years ago one of our friends at LaCeiba spent five days in Maciel clinique with dengue fever and left and a few hundred dollars poorer for 24/7 treatment... so much for tourists not needing the innoculations....

I'm afraid there's been some confusion. No one said tourists didn't need the inoculations. Just that the Mexican government's principal public health care services will NOT be providing free dengue vaccinations to ineligible persons, into which category the great majority of foreigners in Mexico would naturally fall. See?

¡Felices Fiestas!

Tourists can pay for their own damn vaccine! They don't need our "free shit". They don't even want their own citizens to have "free shit".

Really Rob? Let's see, so far in 2015 "free shit" from my government have included two visits to my GP, many pre-cancerous skin growths removed, Pneumonia vaccine, shingles vaccine, I would have had a free flue shot if I had been home when it became available, three visits to the CNS out patients clinic at the hospital, three to an orthotist, two visits to my Physiatrist, three to my internist and at least three medical lab tests. And many of those will probably be repeated in 2016.

Or are you forgetting that Americans aren't the only tourists in Mexico?

So far this season in Zihua I have met Argentinians, Ausies, Brits, Canucks, Finns . . .

Poor Canadian! Can't you even tell when we're NOT talking about you? I LOVE your new PM and your socialized medicine. The guilty party knows who they are. Everyone else can just keep on truckin'. Nothing to see here!

I pay for this kind of stuff in the States and would be happy to pay for it in Mexico, if it's made available.
Just out of curiosity: How come it's OK to use the words shit and piss on the board, but the "F" word is banished?

I'm sure many tourists, as well as part-time and full-time residents who are not Mexican citizens, would be happy to pay for this vaccine!

No joke. The vaccine comes from Europe, and Sector Salud, will be distributing it to local health agencies like IMSS and Seguro Popular. The first shipment is from SANOFI a highly reputable European pharmaceutical manufacturer. Supposed to prevent deadly hemorrhagic dengue by almost 90%.

Not given to anyone over 40.

There is little if any threat of Dengue in cities and large towns due to mosquito abatement controls. I haven't heard of a case in Zihuatanejo or Ixtapa in decades, but for us rural "Bulls-Eyes" the new vaccine should be a blessing.

jajaja I know at least 10 personal friends, myself included in the last two years.

Así es. Me consta.

That's right, the mosquitos would not bite a tourist.
