Immunization Program
The goal of the program is to ensure that all New Mexicans are properly immunized against vaccine-preventable diseases. We encourage you to use this website and the resources provided for all your vaccination information needs.
Got Shots?
"Got Shots?" provides opportunities for children to stay up-to-date on their immunizations. During "Got Shots?" participating providers open their doors for any child who presents for immunizations, regardless of whether they are a patient or whether they have insurance.
Please join the New Mexico Department of Health, the New Mexico Primary Care Association and the New Mexico Immunization Coalition, along with our managed care partners, Presbyterian, Western Sky Community Care and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico in making sure that all New Mexico children are immunized on time! Many sites provide Medicaid Eligibility services during the event. The New Mexico Primary Care Association can help arrange for onsite Medicaid application if providers do not have an eligibility worker.
Where Can I Get My Child's Shots?
Visit the Vaccine Site Finder for an interactive map which will help you find a nearby health care provider to vaccinate your child.
Simply enter your home address to see a list of providers near you. Then click on any location to see the provider’s address and phone number. Please call ahead to find out about office hours and to schedule an appointment.
Adults Need Shots, Too!
Visit the Vaccines for Adults without Insurance Site Finder for an interactive map to find a provider near you that vaccinates uninsured adults.
Most sites offer flu vaccine as well as other vaccines such as hepatitis B, hepatitis A, MMR, Tdap and others. Please call the provider to confirm vaccine availability and make an appointment. Adults with private health insurance, Medicaid and/or Medicare can receive vaccines at their provider’s office or at a pharmacy.
Please visit the CDC Vaccines You Need as an Adult website to learn more about adult vaccination.
