(Las Cruces) – The New Mexico Department of Health announced today revised guidelines for priority groups that should receive the first doses of vaccine to protect against H1N1 influenza. The priority groups have been refined for first phase of vaccinations because New Mexico will receive the vaccine in stages and will concentrate on the people most at risk for serious illness from H1N1 influenza. The revised guidelines are based on recommendations from the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.
