So far, nearly 300,000 New Mexicans have registered online.
In addition to the online system, the state is setting up a call center for those who are having trouble signing up online or those who do not have access to the internet.
The hotline is expected to be set up by the end of the week.
The state is also working on making sure people can t skip the priority line to get vaccinated. We are aware of sporadic reports of people jumping the line by sharing codes, and what we ve done immediately is implement a technical fix to try and prevent this from happening, said New Mexico Department of Health Secretary-designate Tracie Collins. So we are now no longer giving a code you can share. It has to be linked to your particular appointment and specific to you.
