From Staff Reports
LAS CRUCES - New Mexico State University hosted its first full-scale New Mexico Department of Health COVID-19 vaccination event on Jan. 8, providing space, volunteer personnel and logistical support for the distribution of more than 600 doses of the vaccine to eligible members of the community. Two additional distribution events are scheduled for later this month.
The events are open only to those who have received a notification from the NMDOH that they are eligible to receive the vaccine at NMSU on the specified date.
The Jan. 8 event followed a smaller point-of-distribution event at the end of December designed to test out traffic flow and other logistical plans.
