New Mexico is evaluating its participation in the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program. The state will select the option which provides the most benefit to New Mexicans. The recent change in administrations will likely have significant impact in the COVID-19 vaccine rollout and state decision regarding the program.
Regardless of participation in the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program, the state plans on heavy utilization of pharmacy partners throughout the COVID-19 vaccination process.
In order to be prepared for either scenario, we encourage ALL New Mexico pharmacies to be enrolled as state covid-19 providers.
Pharmacies who have registered through their distributor or through the Federal Retail Program will need to complete an additional COVID-19 Vaccine Provider application through the state COVID-19 website in order to be a registered state COVID-19 provider.
The application is available at https://cv.nmhealth.org/providers/vaccines/ . Questions may be directed to COVID.Vaccines@state.nm.us
The document linked below provides extensive guidance to get your pharmacy established as a vaccine provider and to be prepared for providing your patients the COVID-19 vaccinations.
