Vaccines and virus As the winds continue to blow and vaccines continue to be distributed, New Mexico continues its outstanding response to vaccine delivery. According to the New York Times, the state leads the nation in number of doses used and percentage of population vaccinated with at least one shot. This rapid vaccination rate, combined with the effectiveness of the state’s COVID safe guidelines, has allowed the number of cases in New Mexico is steadily decrease, with 126 cases reported statewide for Monday March 8th. Currently, anyone can register for the vaccine, but only essential frontline workers, healthcare providers, those over 75, and those at risk of complications are receiving shots. As counties move from red to green and more businesses are able to open at increased capacity, lives and activities are beginning to feel less constrained. The New Mexico Department of Health and the CDC still urge the importance of following mask, social distancing, and gathering size guidelines to prevent surges in case numbers and to limit the spread of new, more contagious, variants.
