Mexico: good to know

  • PEP in this country. AHF México says PEP must start within 72 hours of the exposure and that you can go straight to any IMSS hospital or clinic, which must provide PEP whether or not you are insured with IMSS. The page does not mention foreign visitors, so ask on arrival how this applies to you.

Emergency number: 911
