LAS CRUCES – Doña Ana County Commission Chair Manny Sanchez has sent a letter to Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham requesting the county receive a greater allotment of the state's vaccine distribution.
While the county entered Yellow Level restrictions Wednesday due to COVID-19 test positivity falling below 5 percent for 14 days, Sanchez still said he worries about cases being spread from neighboring Texas, which was allowed to open fully March 10.
Last week, Sanchez said he planned to propose a resolution before the county commission making the request for more vaccines, but he instead opted to do it through a letter sent March 10.
