Flu Shot Clinic:

Next Friday, I will send out the consent form for the Flu Shot Clinic which will be held on Friday, October 14.
 

COVID Update:

We had zero positive cases last week and two positive cases this week. If you are having allergy or cold-like symptoms, rule out COVID by taking 2 home tests 24-48 hours apart or 1 PCR test. Curative. com is offering the rapid PCR test at:
  • Nusenda Community Stadium  7am - 2pm, Mon-Sat.
  • Berna Facio Professional Development Center (Louisiana and Comanche)  9am - 6pm everyday
  • Los Lunas (Daniel Fernandez Memorial Park next to the Youth Center Building)  8am - 3pm Mon - Fri
On-site registration is available, but appointments are preferred at each of these locations.
 
All of the counties within New Mexico remain at LOW COVID-19 Community Levels. Individual Level Prevention Steps You Can Take Based on Your COVID-19 Community Level (from the CDC):
 
LOW, MEDIUM, AND HIGH
  • At all COVID-19 Community Levels:
  • Stay up to date on vaccination, including recommended booster doses.
  • Maintain ventilation improvements.
  • Avoid contact with people who have suspected or confirmed COVID-19.
  • Follow recommendations for isolation if you have suspected or confirmed COVID-19.
  • Follow the recommendations for what to do if you are exposed to someone with COVID-19.
  • If you are at high risk of getting very sick, talk with a healthcare provider about additional prevention actions.
