49,000 COVID-19 Doses Received In New Mexico

The first batches of COVID-19 vaccines have been received in New Mexico and people are already getting vaccinated.

Since I am over 65 and have a prior condition (the two stents) that puts me into a higher risk category, I am part of Phase 1C of the vaccination program. Since that's the case, I have registered for the vaccination.

According to the Las Cruces Sun News:

SANTA FE – As of Wednesday, New Mexico has received 49,625 doses of COVID-19 vaccines developed by biotech companies Pfizer and Moderna, and had administered 83 percent of them in locations statewide, including rural areas. 

New Mexico Health Secretary-designate Tracie Collins said 41,075 shots had been administered among the two population groups at the front of the line for the vaccinations: frontline healthcare workers receive the Pfizer vaccine, while Moderna's vaccine is distributed to residents and staff of long-term care facilities.
