Thanks to your action, tens of thousands of New Mexicans got vaccinated this past year. Let’s keep it going!

Vaccines don’t just protect you–they protect your neighbors, your children’s classmates, and the most vulnerable members of our communities.

When you stay up-to-date on your immunizations, you build a shield around everyone you love; and that is something worth celebrating!

Learn more about immunization guidance by visiting vaccine.doh.nm.gov

And don’t forget to stay current on your vaccines. Give us a call at 1-833-796-8773 or visit vaccine.doh.nm.gov for help finding a vaccine provider.

New Mexico just gave every K-12 student access to 50,000+ books — for free. Our new partnership with Rally Reader means kids statewide can pick a book they love, practice reading out loud, and get instant feedback. Registration is open now for the 2026/2027 school year. Link in the first comment.

SUN Bucks benefits for eligible New Mexico students are expected to begin June 15, 2026.

SUN Bucks is a one-time summer benefit issued per eligible student to help families buy food while school is out.

Some families may receive their SUN Bucks card before benefits are loaded. Benefits will not be available prior to June 15.

✔ Check your mailbox
✔ Keep your previous SUN Bucks card
✔ Benefits may be added to last year’s card

You may receive a new SUN Bucks card if:
✔ Your student is newly eligible
✔ The eldest child in your household graduated or aged out
✔ Your parent/guardian and mailing address changed

Benefits for some eligible students may also be added to last year’s SUN Bucks card, so families should keep any previously issued cards.
