One of New Mexico s largest vaccination clinics is hitting the pause button and will temporarily stop giving vaccines after administering shots for more than a week.
University of New Mexico Health Sciences officials say they want to ensure they have enough doses to give booster shots to people who have received their first shots. The clinic at the university s arena, also known as The Pit, is expected to be closed through Saturday.
The clinic was administering around 1,600 doses per day, with a goal of eventually hitting 3,000 shots daily. An official said the intent is still to hit that mark as soon as more vaccine doses are available.

The Democratic speaker of the state House is restricting access by lawmakers to the House floor and closing off conference rooms after the disclosure that a Republican legislator tested positive for COVID-19, along with several earlier positive tests among legislative staff.
Speaker Brian Egolf of Santa Fe said Friday that he will begin restricting in-person access to House floor sessions to himself and one additional person from each political party.
That would establish almost entirely online participation in House committee hearings and floor debates. The Capitol is closed to the public.
