Drs. Collins, Ross, and Scrase encourage vaccination 060221
The Day 449 press conference began with Department of Health Secretary Dr. Tracie Collins stating that New Mexico is still the most efficient vaccine distributor in the country. "65.7% of New Mexicans 16 and over have received at least one shot. 56% are fully vaccinated," she said.
Collins said all thirty-three of New Mexico's counties are now considered to be turquoise. "Given the state's vaccination progress and a continued positive outlook with respect to new virus cases," she said, "Counties will remain at the Turquoise Level, barring exceptional circumstances such as an unforeseen mass outbreak, for the duration of the state's use of the color-coded county-by-county system."
She said the state will continue to monitor vaccination rates and work to improve efforts to make the vaccine more accessible.
