Nessa Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 Hello everyone. I am a permanent resident of Mexico and I could not get my vaccine on time. (For my age group) I submitted a request to vaccinate with my Curp on the Gov site where they ask for your email and address, but so far no replies. Anyone know if there are any drop in centers here where I can get my first dose? Gracias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMama Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 Unfortunately there are no drop in centers in Jalisco. Not enough vaccine available in Mexico. You must wait until your age group comes up in your municipality. Currently in Chapala and Joco, they are vaccinating 12 - 17 year-olds with existing medical conditions at the Community Hospital in Jocotopec. Watch the site below for updates. They usually update on the weekend. When they list persons over 18 who have not received their first jab, in your municipality, plan to show up. You likely will not receive an email. You will need to provide proof of address along with the other listed documents. https://coronavirus.jalisco.gob.mx/ruta-de-la-vacunacion/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 We flew to Houston to get our Pfizer booster. Made appointment with Walgreens on line. Stayed overnight and flew back the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 United and Volaris fly to Houston. Volaris flies to San Antonio tx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMama Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Keep in mind that Mexico has 84% of adults with at least one jab. Texas has only a little over 50%. Sounds pretty risky to me. Just sayin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Just go. Wear masks and take covid precautions. Texas doesn’t require masks but a person can to protect themselves. Masks are required in airports and planes. Go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessa Posted November 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Thank you for your replies. I heard that the US is not accepting any non vaccinated travelers as of Nov 8th. I would fly to the US but I don't want to risk being denied entry because of me not having the vaccine. Fyi I'm Canadian. Has anyone been able to travel to the US without a vaccine record after Nov 8th. How was the experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your best bet is a quick flight to Tijuana, cross at the CBX, get the jab in Chula Vista, cross back and catch a flight home. My travel agent says that route has been closed down.

Not so; Canadian friends went this past Wednesday, on Volaris from Gdl-CBX, Ubered for their (third) booster shot (they had AZ here); in and out same day.

sm1mex Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Texas doesn’t care where you are from. We had our reservation form. They didn’t even ask for Id. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dostortas Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Nessa is correct, any non U.S. citizens traveling by air into the US for visit or in transit, must now be fully vaccinated and have proof of a negative antigen test. It would seem the only option available as of now would be to get vaccinated here in Mexico. The Canadian government has expanded their list of accepted vaccinations, including Sinovac. MtnMama’s link is a good place to start. Hopefully the vaccinations will be available for sale privately at some point, but when and if, is anyone’s guess. Good luck to you Nessa.

Maybe they didn't check, but the requirement starting Nov 8th for non-US citizens is to show proof of vaccination. See https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/ea/requirements-for-air-travelers-to-the-us.html : Effective November 8, 2021, all non-immigrant, non-citizen air travelers to the United States will be required to be fully vaccinated and to provide proof of vaccination status prior to boarding an airplane to the United States. For land border access requirement, see https://www.dhs.gov/news/2021/10/29/frequently-asked-questions-guidance-travelers-enter-us : ...non-citizen travelers will be permitted to enter the U.S. through a land border or ferry terminal for a non-essential reason (i.e., tourism), provided they are fully vaccinated and can present proof of COVID-19 vaccination status. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMama Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Guadalajara metro is currently vaccinating anyone over 18 who has not yet been jabbed. Hopefully this will filter down to the outlying areas sooner rather than later. Watch the linked page for updates regularly as they often don't give very much warning.

ibarra Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 I took a bus last week to Nuevo Laredo, taxi to destination in Laredo, TX. No one asked for any proof of my Covid status. Only time I showed any identification was at the U.S. border where they asked for my passport. Mask suggested on the bus, but, some took them off during the trip. Masks requested at some stores (signs posted at entry) in TX but, not required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you missed your 'age group' you could have gone to ANY age group when vaccines were available over the past seven months. This website lists when/where vaccines are available but it looks like they are doing students at the moment. You could try going to the bienstar office at the chapala municipal building and sign up. https://coronavirus.jalisco.gob.mx/ruta-de-la-vacunacion/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like some people have done their homework which is why they are not getting vaccinated. I saw this morning in all of Mexico, 53 deaths yesterday from Covid. down from over 700 several weeks ago. Seems to be the trend once they begin vaccination campaigns numbers begin to spike and then dwindle several weeks after. I have to wonder what people think about the high infection rates and death in highly vaccinated countries, in spite of all these vaccines it seems things have gotten worse and not better. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 You just miss the point that the majority of people dying in highly vaccinated areas are not vaccinated, a derail but an important one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dichosalocura Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 https://us.yahoo.com/news/cdc-moves-germany-denmark-not-175907246.html If you read this article it is rather disturbing specially when you get to the end where it states that 78.1% of people in Denmark have been vaccinated and 70% of Germans have been vaccinated. It kind of makes one question the effectiveness of these vaccines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 You missed an important point in the article... Quote 78.1 percent of people have received at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine in Denmark and 70.6 percent in Germany. One dose is not vaccinated. It is HALF vaccinated. As long as people don't take this seriously, the virus will continue to evolve, spread and mutate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dichosalocura Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 Covid is going to evolve, spread and mutate regardless, don't you understand? I seriously doubt that the majority of the world's population wants to take a covid vaccine every 6 months for the rest of their lives. Because thats about all its good for. But I'm sure Big Pharma would love that. Most scientists already say it is here for good just like the common flu is so we might as well learn to live with it as we do with the flu. It isn't going away. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 You are the kind of person who takes antibiotics for an infection... but doesn't take all of them for the required time frame... and decides to hang on to them in case some other infection happens. If you do not understand the implications of the above behaviour then I suggest you talk to a Doctor. The vaccine is to stop severe illness and death. Period. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
