I had an existing order for a death certificate but they claim no check was included when I mailed everything (NOT) since these are $5 each and the cancel check order to my bank is $35...I went directly in to pay the $15 so they could close out the order should that check pop up some other time! Also, you can save time by filling out ur request form once you take ur number, at the counter immediately to ur right upon entering their tiny waiting area and go right when they open at 8 to avoid long waiting times!

I just received a flyer in the mail from NM department of health in Santa Fe . They proudly state…read morethat their flyer is paid for by Pfizer. Who makes billions, yes billions in profits from the sale of vaccines! It makes me wonder how much kickback money NM politicians get for their political campaigns from Pfizer. My problem with this political arm twisting is that the first words on the flyer state that "Records show" I may be missing adult shots. Whose records?! This statement is deliberately ambiguous! And if they supposedly have my medical records (which they do not have my permission) why are they then stating that I "may" be missing these shots. They are making a threat that I "maybe " at risk! By the way I am a veteran. And have been receiving 100% of my care from the VA. If I find out that somebody at the VA is releasing my data I will pursue legal action. Care which I have been receiving since 2017.

Kudos To NM State Vaccine…read more I just got my 1st vaccine through the NM Department of Health. This has to be one of the best if not the best program in the country. I had been notified that I could pre-register for a vaccine at the NM State Site, https://cvvaccine.nmhealth.org/my-registration.html. Pre-registration was easy and quick. I was told I would be notified when the vaccine was available. I also got my registration code. Then I got a text and email directing me to the same site to fill out my profile which included personal information, demographic information, employer information, insurance information, and information on chronic medical conditions. This time the link took me to a page that had my registration code pre-entered. All I had to do was enter my birth date. The profile page was well laid out and easy to complete. It only took me about 15 minutes to complete everything. REALLY EASY Less than a week later I received another text & email notifying me that the vaccine is now available and to sign-up on a first-come, first serve basis. I clicked the link in the text, the same link as before, and entered the special event code provided in the text & email. I was able to select a date and time for my vaccine at NM Expo, the fairgrounds. My appointment was displayed at the top of the page and I received appointment reminders by text & email 3 days before, the day before, and the day of my vaccine. I arrived at NM Expo - Fairgrounds, 300 San Pedro NE, about 15 minutes before my appointment and there was about 100 cars ahead of me. I was thinking this was going to take forever, but I was wrong! I had chosen the first time slot of the day and at the appointed time the cars started moving. The traffic control was excellent with no cutting in line and no confusion as to where to go. We were asked if we had any mobility issues because they had accommodations for those that needed them. I was quickly directed to a parking spot, walked into an arena with good ventilation and social distancing markings. They had about 10 vaccination stations and when our turn came, they asked for my birth date, confirmed my name, asked in which arm I wanted my shot, provided written confirmation of which shot (mine was Pfizer), date and time of the shot. They even scheduled my 2nd (booster) shot for 3 weeks later. This whole process only took about 5 minutes including the wait in line. I was then directed to a socially distanced seating area for observation. Depending on which vaccine you receive, it will be either 15 or 30 minutes. While sitting there I received another text/email thanking me for getting my vaccine and providing a link to a Pfizer vaccine fact sheet. , And finally, they sent me another text with the date and time of my 2nd shot. If I had wanted to change the appointment I could have done so on the website. I received another text/email at the end of my waiting period telling me I as free to leave. It took me less than 30 minutes from my appointment time to when I was walking out the door. As I was leaving I noticed that there was no line of cars waiting to get in. This was the best organized and staffed event I have ever experienced. Richard Braziel

Limited collection, plenty of public computer terminals, extremely limited information services. Its a well meaning library, run by paraprofessionals and well meaning volunteers. Environment is often loud, most often not from the little kids, but from the volunteers. Overall, typical organization found in provincial towns and small cities. Seemingly hampered by the egos involved in their governing board. Odd in the age of information technology where so much can easily be accomplished with a little bit of knowledge and gumption.

There is a little bit of a hike to get to the cross, but honestly no complaints because the whole place is simply beautiful, so I really dont get why some folks give it less stars. My one suggestion is to come around sunset or sunrise because that is when the views really are mesmerizing. I even saw 2-3 professional photographers setting up their time lapse cameras and a bunch of other people just standing around enjoying the views. I loved the whole experience and I would recommend it to everyone planning to visit Santa Fe!

The interior is clean and well lit, and new book titles easy to find. We came in from the cold to warm up and to look at all the community flyers. Bathrooms are located on the ground and second floors, which also has some historic information. I wish we could've spent longer in here but metered parking only covered us for two hours!

Located…read morearound all the tourist spots in Santa Fe, there's something special about visiting the Oldest House Indian Shop. Admission is free, as part of the building is a gift shop and the other side is the actual house that you can walk through. What I especially like about the oldest house is seeing the structure and how the building was built. You can actually see the straws that were used in forming the walls with the clay. Where else in the U.S. can you see that? Very unique, so make sure to look up close at the walls. The rooms are small, with furnishings inside the rooms, making it so that you can picture what life was like back in its time. It doesn't take long at all to get through and there's very little information about the history, so I would suggest reading up on your own about it. It's worth a visit if you have time and are in Santa Fe.
