En Tacna, Perú, una adolescente de quince años sin vacunar se convirtió esta semana en el primer caso confirmado de sarampión en la región, después de regresar de un viaje a Puno. Su diagnóstico no es solo un evento médico aislado, sino el reflejo de una brecha silenciosa en la cobertura de inmunización que las autoridades ahora se apresuran a cerrar. La enfermedad, prevenible y antigua, encontró un hueco en el escudo colectivo, y con ello recordó que la salud pública es tan fuerte como su eslabón más desprotegido.
