Over 162,900 COVID vaccines have been administered in New Mexico and more than 60% of those in Phase 1A have already been vaccinated.
New Mexico Health Secretary Dr. Tracie Collins says the state intends to offer the vaccine to the general public by mid-2021. The state began its effort by targeting the most vulnerable populations.
“We started in Phase 1A with health care personnel, frontline and also first responders, those taking care of patients. We’ve now opened up the initial part of Phase 1B, which are individuals 75 years of age or older,” Collins said. “We will then move to individuals who are 16 or older with underlying medical conditions, followed by frontline essential workers and vulnerable populations.”

New Mexico Lawmakers Among Beneficiaries Of Relief Grants -
By Morgan Lee, Associated Press
Direct grants to small businesses and nonprofit organizations that are a hallmark of New Mexico s coronavirus relief effort have been awarded to several state legislators as well as enterprises that have sued the state over Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham s aggressive public health restrictions.
Nearly $100 million in grants were paid out to 6,800 businesses and nonprofits at the end of 2020, illustrating the breadth of the economic distress brought on by the pandemic.
Public records obtained by The Associated Press show successful applicants included businesses overseen by five current or recent state senators, a family-oriented amusement park that has sued the governor as it seeks to reopen, numerous Catholic charities, local chambers of commerce and hundreds of struggling restaurants and hotels run by lone proprietors and business magnates.
