NM COVID stats in the last month

Per the NMDOH, cases are slowing down due largely to vaccinations. Meanwhile "the large majority of new cases, hospitalizations and especially deaths related to COVID-19 are among those who are unvaccinated.

"As of Wednesday, the state reported that 79 percent of all New Mexicans 18 or older had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, while 69.2 percent had completed their vaccination series (either with both shots of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine). And among those 12-17, 62.5 percent had received at least one dose and 51.6 percent were fully vaccinated." 

"According to state data in the four weeks ending on Sept. 14, 80.3 percent of confirmed COVID-19 cases are among those who are unvaccinated, 88.4 percent of hospitalizations for the disease are among the unvaccinated and 97.6 percent of all COVID-19-related deaths are among those who are unvaccinated."
