Seasonal Influenza

Seasonal flu vaccine is now being shipped to New Mexico.

CDC's Seasonal Flu Vaccine page has detailed information on seasonal flu immunization.

Where can I get a flu shot? New Mexicans wishing to get a flu shot should first contact their regular health care provider. If they do not have access to a health care provider, or if their provider does not have flu vaccine, they may contact their local Public Health Office for information on where they can get a flu shot. Influenza Vaccination Clinics may be located at the New Mexico Influenza Vaccine Consortium website, or by calling the New Mexico Nurse Advice Line at 1-866-681-5872. Some clinics may require cash, check, or Medicare Part B forms for payment.

DOH and CDC links for more information: The New Mexico Department of Health Seasonal Influenza Information Page includes links to the New Mexico Weekly Flu Reports. Flu vaccination protocols for public health offices can be found in the DOH Public Health Division 2009-10 Season Influenza Vaccination Protocols and the 2009-10 H1N1 Influenza Vaccination Protocols.
