Officials at some of New Mexico s largest hospitals said Monday they are holding out hope that vaccine supplies will catch up with demand as state health officials confirmed that some pharmacies would begin receiving shipments this week.
More than 590,000 residents have registered online to be vaccinated, but health care officials and the state Health Department acknowledge that demand is far outpacing current supplies. Some older New Mexicans and those with pre-existing health concerns that put them at greater risk have waiting for weeks.
State health officials have acknowledged that residents in search of vaccines have been going to Texas, where individual clinics have been vaccinating people on a first-come, first-serve basis.

  Four teenagersâ stories didnât match up Jan. 4 for a New Mexico State Police officer investigating the shooting of a 16-year-old girl allegedly at an outdoor party.
   According to Officer Johnathan Sanchezâs incident report, Marissa Trujillo, 16, Medanales was shot in the left cheek and ear while at a bonfire party in Medanales.
   Sanchez responded to an E-911 call which stated Trujillo was enroute to the Española Hospital Emergency Room. She eventually arrived, following confusion on where she was and in whose vehicle, between the party and the hospital.
   Sanchez immediately noticed Trujillo was highly intoxicated. When he asked her what happened she could only state she was shot at a party and then gave incomplete answers.
