FAQs:
Do I need a prescription from my doctor?
No. See guidance from the NMDOH.
Will the vaccine be covered by my insurance?
Most likely, especially if you start where you get your prescriptions filled locally. Note that BCBSNM (LANL’s insurance provider) is still not accepted at Smith’s.
What if I don’t have medical insurance?
The NMDOH helpline (see below) is answered by a real person who has information about regional availability.
