Vaccination teams are part of an effort by health authorities across Mexico to contain the country’s biggest measles outbreak in decades .

In Mexico , cases have been concentrated in the Mennonite community in the northern border state of Chihuahua .

Officials cite tens of thousands of new vaccinations, but infections have ballooned and spread past the community to Indigenous and other populations.

Mennonites who spoke to The Associated Press repeatedly cited vaccine misinformation.

One man said U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has a long record of promoting anti-vaccine views and has called vaccination a personal choice.

Health officials say they're concerned in particular for vulnerable populations including Indigenous groups.
