IMPORTANT COVID-19 NEWS!

The state has announced two new COVID-19 resources for New Mexico residents. New Mexico Caregivers Coalition staff have tested both resources to ensure they are both running smoothly.

Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham is encouraging everyone—whether symptomatic or not—to take a free, in-home saliva test for COVID-19. You can sign up through the link below for the tests, which require a photo ID for verification of your identity and ability to sign on to zoom. The tests are sent out immediately, and return postage for the test is paid. To get the test, visit the following site: http://learn.vaulthealth.com/nm/

In addition, you can sign up to be notified as soon as you are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccination. People who register with the Department of Health at this site will receive notice and instructions on where to go to get the vaccine by text as soon as their priority group can begin receiving it. You can register here: https://cvvaccine.nmhealth.org
