States have a lot of power to dictate health policy for their residents. The New Mexico Department of Health has issued a public health order to help ensure all New Mexicans can access the COVID-19 vaccine. I hope other states follow suit. www.nmhealth.org/news/vaccine...
What is the point of this campaign of yours? Covid-19 vaccine? It is much more useful to vaccinate people against measles, diphtheria and chickenpox.
Please explain why people are being vaccinated against Covid-19 again when everyone on the planet has already recovered from Hong Kong flu and Covid-19? No sence?!🤔
Sadly in Texas they are instead passing a law making Ivermectin available at the pharmacy without a doctor prescription.
I can’t really tell what this order will do. Can the state override the federal authorization criteria? Or is it just trying to find ways to make things as easy as possible for patients within those criteria?
“It’s important for New Mexicans to know the New Mexico Department of Health is committed to keeping residents safe as we enter the 2025 – 2026 respiratory virus season,” said Health Secretary Gina DeBlassie. “This order will remove obstacles to vaccination access.”
PS- I will travel out of state to get a vaccine if I need to. It shouldn't be this hard to get access to a vaccine that's so safe 8 billion doses have been administered world wide but here we are.

Reminiscent of the early days of Covid-19 vaccine rollout - hours on the computer trying to find a site for family/friends, waiting up until midnight when new slots would open. Preposterous to again have impaired access, now intentional.
Waiting for MA to do the same, as one of the 3 states completely cut off by pharmacies right now. Coming in 3...2...1....
Why do I suspect our state won’t be among them? 😔
Yeah it's run by idiots. I suspect they will go with vaccines are woke .
This is important news thanks @boghuma.bsky.social - states and coalitions of states are going to have to lead our national public health responses until we can rebuild federal capacity. And let us hope to God that there is no pandemic in the meantime…
The governor of Colorado has his head so far up his fat ass, he would prefer spending $28 million on a stupid bridge, instead of trying to figure out any health policy or vaccinations for the people that voted for him. Governor Polis is an embarrassment and total disappointment to Colorado
STATES RIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
