New Mexico's Vaccine Distribution Plan

To support the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine, Project ECHO has partnered with the New Mexico Department of Health to share critical information about the vaccine to New Mexico’s healthcare workforce.

Dates: Thursday, January 21, 2021 1400 - 1530 MT

As the New Mexico Department of Health coordinates vaccine distribution across the state, it is essential that private healthcare providers, pharmacies, clinics, hospitals, community service organizations, and other healthcare sites stay up to date on the vaccine distribution plan. The state’s vaccination distribution plan aims to:

• ensure the continuing functioning of the healthcare system and essential services in the community and
• protect people at increased risk for severe COVID-19-related illness, while ensuring sustainable and equitable vaccine access across New Mexico.

Join Department of Health experts and leaders to learn the latest information about New Mexico’s vaccine distribution plan.
