New Mexico’s Department of Health isn’t wasting any time planning to incorporate the new one-and-done COVID-19 vaccine from Johnson & Johnson approved for use this weekend.
According to reporting by the Santa Fe Reporter, DOH is preparing to receive 17,700 doses of the new vaccine Tuesday. Those are in addition to another 77,000 doses already planned for the state this week.
