COVID 23-24
The new formulation has been updated and is from Omicron variant XBB1.5. The change in formulation is similar to how the influenza vaccine is changed each year. Currently, everyone 6 months and older who is previously up to date on vaccinations and not immunocompromised can received one dose of vaccine as long as it has been 2 months since previous vaccination for COVID. Unvaccinated persons over the age of 5 only need one vaccine to be up to date. Unvaccinated children under 5 will need 3 Pfizer or two Moderna vaccines. Immunocompromised individuals may qualify for additional vaccinations throughout the year. Vaccine has been made commercial, which means the federal government is no longer paying for vaccine for everyone. This means currently, Corrales Fire will NOT be able to provide vaccinations, we are trying to partner with a commercial pharmacy to provide several drive thru clinics, but currently no formal arrangements have been made. Participating pharmacies and medical offices should start receiving vaccine the week of September 18, 2023. A list of vaccination providers and scheduling is located at https://vaccinecal.doh.nm.gov/ . This is a new scheduling and registration system. Many large retail chains have their own scheduling systems on their websites. Most insurances will cover the complete cost of the vaccine this includes Medicare and Medicaid. Uninsured children can receive vaccines and many New Mexico Department of Health Offices. Uninsured adults will be able to access vaccines through a program called Bridge Access program providers can be found at https://www.vaccines.gov/ Deputy Chief Lattin is still available to help you with questions and finding a vaccine appointment by calling 505-702-4182
