Here's an issue:
"New Mexico discarded a 75-dose shipment of the new COVID-19 vaccine this week after a digital device showed it overheated on transport to a hospital in Clayton.
But the problem may have been a malfunction of the device used to track the temperature of the vaccines, not a problem with the packing of the product itself.
“In light of the malfunction, and without the ability in this case to verify the accuracy of the vaccine’s temperature with a high level of confidence during transport, it was decided in the interests of safety to discard the product and resend a new shipment” Wednesday, Matt Nerzig, a spokesman for Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, said in a written statement.
The state sent out 18 vaccine shipments from its Department of Health warehouse on Tuesday, with only the Clayton shipment experiencing a “temperature excursion,” he said.
The problem was “probably a malfunction of the digital data logger,” Nerzig said, not faulty packing of the vaccine.
To be safe, the state decided to send another shipment. New Mexico is receiving about 17,550 doses of the Pzifer vaccine this week, and frontline health care workers are already receiving their shots."
