Take Your Shot! The Pit to Serve as Vaccination Site Long known for housing some of the most iconic and memorable moments in New Mexico’s history, The Pit at The University of New Mexico will be home to another watershed moment. It will be transformed into a mass vaccination site for UNM Health officials to administer COVID-19 vaccines to the public. “The University for New Mexico has been an essential partner to our communities in battling the COVID-19 pandemic, and welcomes any opportunity to contribute to and serve them,” said UNM President Garnett S. Stokes. “It is exciting to feel such hope after the past several months. I can’t think of a more fitting location than The Pit for our trusted and dedicated healthcare heroes to deliver the vaccine to our citizens.”
