COVID-19
The state department of health today announced that businesses, nonprofits, religious congregations, community centers and other organizations can now request on-site vaccination events via getvaxnm.com. Organizations must bring a minimum of 25 people to a vaccination event, which can be a combination of employees, family and community members. In some cases, DOH says it may combine multiple requests or reroute organizations to pre-existing events.
“DOH is committed to making vaccine available to New Mexicans where they live and work,” DOH Secretary Dr. Tracie Collins said in a statement. “By offering organizations the opportunity to request on-site vaccination events, we’ll make getting a shot even easier.”
New Mexico health officials today reported 137 new COVID-19 cases, bringing the statewide total so far past 200,000: 200,037, to be exact. The health department has designated 185,249 of those cases as recovered.
Among the 19 counties with reported new cases, Bernalillo County had 56, followed by San Juan County with 13 and Guadalupe County with 12. Santa Fe County had seven new cases.
The state also announced three additional deaths; there have now been 4,108 fatalities.
As of today, 141 people are hospitalized with COVID-19.*
Currently, 60.1% of New Mexicans have had at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and 48.2% are fully vaccinated. In Santa Fe County, 70.8% have had at least one dose and 56.9% are fully inoculated.
