Here’s a look at some local news brought to you by Silver City Radio.
The New Mexico Department of Health made an announcement yesterday that there will be an adjustment in the way COVID-19 vaccination data is reported. According to a release from the NMDOH, on Friday, February 5th, DOH staff identified that the computer code used to generate vaccination reports pulls data based on the county in which the vaccination take place, not New Mexican’s county of residence. The system used is supported by a third-party vendor. Starting today, county-based data on the state’s vaccination website will display vaccination totals based on the county of residence.
