New Mexico Ramps Up Vaccine Distribution, Awaits Supplies –
Associated Press
Top health officials in New Mexico say the state has boosted the number of vaccines given daily by more than 20% over the past two weeks.
State Health Secretary Dr. Tracie Collins said Wednesday during a briefing that New Mexico is ranked third in the nation for distribution, having administered nearly all the doses it gets every week.
So far, more than 450,000 shots have been given. About 7% of New Mexicans are fully vaccinated with their first and second shots. That s double the figure from two weeks ago.
Collins called it a supply and demand mismatch, saying the state will not be able to expand eligibility until more doses are shipped. The state s allocation has been growing in recent weeks and is expected to reach more than 72,500 next week, she said.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) A New Mexico city’s statue of a Spanish colonialist that was removed following disputes over its representation has been quietly kept at a private home for months.
The statue of Don Diego de Vargas was removed from a Santa Fe park in June on the orders of Mayor Alan Webber during tensions over local monuments, the Santa Fe New Mexican reported Monday.
Former City Councilor Ron Trujillo said he observed the statue at the residence Thursday after being notified of its whereabouts. He declined to identify the property out of what he described as a desire to protect the home and the statue from vandalism.
