Vaccination guidance for children at the federal level is changing under new directives from U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and with it comes much confusion about the number of vaccines now being recommended for kids as well as which ones will still be easily accessible.  

In New Mexico, the state Department of Health recently made clear that it intends to follow the vaccine schedule provided by the American Academy of Pediatrics despite the new federal recommendations under Kennedy.  

On the latest podcast episode of “Conversations Different,” host Inez Russell Gomez speaks with state health department officials Dr. Miranda Durham, chief medical officer, and Andrea Romero, manager of the immunization program, about New Mexico’s decision to maintain a full robust vaccination schedule for children.  

Durham and Romero discuss what they want the public to know about access to vaccines in our state, clarify any skepticism that parents may have about effectiveness and talk about available resources to make the right health decisions for your family.  

One of the resources Durham and Romero note in this episode is the NMDOH helpline where health professionals are available to answer your medical questions. The number is 1-833-796-8773
