Call center support for vaccine registration option on Department of Health hotline
January 7, 2021 – 2019 Novel Coronavirus – Alert
The New Mexico Department of Health today announced that the DOH hotline now offers support for questions surrounding vaccine registration.
Nearly 300,000 New Mexicans have registered for vaccine at the state’s website: https://cvvaccine.nmhealth.org
The registration process is straightforward: users create a profile, enter health and other information, and then wait to receive notification from DOH when vaccine is available to them.
Users who have questions or would like support with the registration process – including New Mexicans who do not have internet access – can dial 1-855-600-3453, press option 0 for vaccine questions, and then option 4 for tech support.
Users who have other vaccine-related questions can call 1-855-600-3453 and simply press option 0 for vaccine questions.
“New Mexico is working to deliver the vaccine as quickly and efficiently as possible. We encourage everyone to register – and we are pleased to provide in-person support to assist with that process,” said Dr. Tracie Collins, Secretary-Designate of the New Mexico Department of Health.

New Mexico offers a free digital resource to address addiction
A new digital resource, 5-Actions Program™ (NM5actions.com) is designed to help adults (18
years of age and older) address challenges associated with alcohol, other drugs, and behavioral addictions (e.g.,
gambling, sex, technology, food) is free for residents of New Mexico, announced the New Mexico Crisis and
Access Line (NMcrisisline.com) in partnership with ProtoCall Services, Inc., and with Digital Therapeutics
Group LLC. The funding for the program is provided by the New Mexico Human Services Department,
Behavioral Health Services Division.
“The 5-Actions Program offers an important, scientifically-based resource to all New Mexicans looking for an
immediately available resource to help them evaluate, and if they so choose, to take action that can alter a
pattern of substance use creating problems for them or their families,” said Behavioral Health Services Division
Director Neal A. Bowen, PhD. “It also offers the potential of supplementing the efforts of therapists, emergency
departments, and peers to accompany people undertaking the challenging path of change. We are pleased to
offer this unique resource to all our neighbors in the state at no cost to them.”
The program comes at a critical time with COVID-19 increasing rates of substance use and overdose. An
important benefit is that it can be accessed 24/7 from the safety of one’s home. It also helps address the
significant gap in those who could benefit from an intervention, but are unable to access care.
