The H1N1 public clinic lines were long in El Paso and the waits even longer, but there's been none of that in Las Cruces and Dona Ana County because the only way to get the vaccine right now is through your personal medical provider. Chris Minnick of the New Mexico Department of Health said that's because El Paso and Dona Ana County used different strategies. While El Paso may have had more than enough vaccine to supply public clinics, in Dona Ana County health officials wanted to spread it out and focus on personal practitioners first. But Minnick said when the Department of Health does hold mass vaccination clinics, it will be ready for the influx of people.

“We can do several points of dispensing sites throughout the city should we need to depending on the number of vaccines we have, and it's a system where we can get people in and out in about 5 to 10 minutes,” said Minnick.

KFOX was told mass vaccination clinics probably won’t happen in Las Cruces for at least another two weeks.
