This post is an excerpt from New Mexico Department of Health’s recent Press Release “New Mexico Launches Comprehensive Measles Resource“, published 2/28/25.

The New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH) has launched a dedicated web resource to address the rising measles cases within state boundaries. 

The comprehensive web resource hub at measles.doh.nm.gov features:

• Current New Mexico case counts (updated Tuesdays and Fridays). 
• Detailed FAQ section addressing common questions. 
• Prevention guidelines specific to New Mexico. 
• Bilingual content in both English and Spanish. 

The NMDOH Helpline at 1-833-796-8773 is staffed by nurses for help in English and Spanish for questions about where to go for and what to know about vaccinations.  

The measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine makes it far less likely for you to get measles than someone unvaccinated with no immunity. Those born before 1957 are already immune.
