But rather than throwing more troops onto the city's streets, as he did last year, Calderón is pushing social and financial reform - including the kind of judicial modernization that tends to spook drug lords more than soldiers do.

The Mexico City government initially had about 400,000 doses of vaccine left after the influenza season, which normally lasts from December to March. However, these were being used exclusively for medical personnel across the nation's hospitals, where hundreds of people with flu symptoms were being treated.
