The Albuquerque Human Rights Board meeting scheduled for May 19, 2022, has been canceled.
With the establishment of the New Mexico Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives (MMIWR) Task Force in 2019, the New Mexico Indian Affairs Department (IAD) has recruited, vetted, and supported the Task Force to conduct a study and complete a report about the scope of the issue. Upon completing this task, the Task Force expanded to include more committed stakeholders who focused on working collaboratively to develop a State Response Plan to fight this epidemic. This Native-led, community-centered, inclusive approach brings together survivors, families, advocates, healers, law enforcement, academics, policy makers, data analysts, lawyers, faith leaders, and others to find solutions that are grounded in best practices and a deep understanding of Tribal and Pueblo communities.

Dispelling 5-11 y/o COVID Vaccine Misinformation - Thursday January 6th. 2022 1:00PM to 2:00 PM
Via Zoom with Closed Captioning and Live ASL Interpretation
Scheduled Presenters and Guest Panelists:
Dr. Walter Dehority MD Associate Professor of Pediatric Infectious Disease at UNM.
Dr. Dehority was part of the national clinical trials of the Pfizer COVID vaccine for children
UNM professor to consult on vaccine documentary (krqe.com)

Physician in private practice in Albuquerque
Dr. Christopher Novak MD - NMDOH Public Health Division Medical Director
Dr. Miranda Durham MD – NMDOH Medical Director for the Department's Northwest Region
We encourage you to join us for this special presentation. Accurate vaccine information is critical and can help stop common myths and rumors. It can be difficult to know which sources of information you can trust. Learn more about finding credible vaccine information for you and your children. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends everyone 5 years and older get a COVID-19 vaccination. Because children and youth with specialized health needs and disabilities may be at higher risk for more severe illness from COVID-19, families and caregivers are asked to strongly consider vaccinating children with any underlying health condition or disability. This is a great opportunity to listen and engage with a panel of New Mexico medical professionals and public health subject matter experts.

Le animamos a que nos acompañe en esta presentación especial. La información exacta sobre las vacunas es fundamental y puede ayudar a acabar con los mitos y rumores más comunes. Puede ser difícil saber en qué fuentes de información se puede confiar. Los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC) recomiendan que todas las personas de 5 años o más se vacunen contra el COVID-19. Debido a que los niños y jóvenes con necesidades de salud especializadas y capacidades diferentes pueden tener un mayor riesgo de padecer una enfermedad más grave a causa de la COVID-19, se pide a las familias y a los cuidadores que consideren encarecidamente la posibilidad de vacunar a los niños con cualquier condición de salud o capacidad diferente existente. Esta es una gran oportunidad para escuchar y participar con un panel de profesionales médicos y expertos en materia de salud pública de Nuevo México

Trung tâm Kiểm soát và Phòng ngừa Dịch bệnh (CDC) khuyến cáo tất cả mọi người từ 5 tuổi trở lên nên tiêm chủng ngừa COVID-19. Vì trẻ em và thanh thiếu niên có nhu cầu sức khỏe chuyên biệt và khuyết tật có thể có nguy cơ mắc bệnh nặng hơn do COVID-19, các gia đình và người chăm sóc trẻ được khuyến khích cân nhắc kỹ lưỡng việc tiêm chủng cho trẻ em có bất kỳ tình trạng sức khỏe hoặc khuyết tật nền. Đây là cơ hội tuyệt vời để lắng nghe và tham gia với một hội đồng gồm các chuyên gia y tế New Mexico và các chuyên gia về vấn đề sức khỏe cộng đồng.
