New Mexico’s governor unveils plan to boost vaccines for seniors, others vulnerable
SANTA FE, New Mexico New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and state officials said at a briefing Thursday that they have a plan to boost Covid-19 vaccinations among older people and other vulnerable populations.
Health Secretary Dr. Tracie Collins indicated the plan calls for increasing shots among seniors by 10% over the next two weeks. The effort will include more outreach by providers, walk-in and locally scheduled clinics and the use of mobile vaccination teams.
Collins said more doses also will be allocated over the next three weeks to areas of the state that are considered particularly vulnerable based on the rate of infection and a series of factors that range from household income and minority status to the availability of housing and transportation. She pointed to McKinley County as an example of one of the more at-risk spots in New Mexico.
