How many New Mexico nursing home staff are vaccinated against COVID-19 by March 6?

Covid 8 edited

A COVID-19 vaccine was administered to 91.8 percent of New Mexico’s nursing and care homes workers as of March 6, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

This is a 1.4 percent increase since the previous data update on Feb. 6. The number of staff employed in nursing and care homes can fluctuate significantly, sometimes leading to a decrease in the total percentage of vaccinated staff.

New Mexico is the 43rd most vaccinated state in the US among nursing and care homes.

COVID-19 claimed 17 lives in New Mexico in the week ending March 6. This is a decrease from the week before.

There have been up 7,342 fatalities tied to COVID-19 in New Mexico.

COVID-19 vaccinations are mandatory for US healthcare personnel due to a federal order. However, many states have raised challenges or issued separate rules about vaccine mandates for healthcare staff.

The Supreme Court in early 2022 shut down a much broader vaccine mandate which would have affected roughly 84 million US citizens.
