• The Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act (PAHPRA) emphasizes that pandemic influenza response is a public health responsibility. 
• New Mexico and its citizens must be provided with primary and alternate methods to receive antibiotics and or vaccinations against emerging diseases and biological threats.
• Fortunately, public health emergencies of a scale where Points of Dispensing (PODs) are needed do not happen often, however, this greatly limits an opportunity to assess the reach and effectiveness of efforts made with private and public partnerships.
• The milestone for the 4th quarter was not achieved.
• The Epidemiology and Response Division's Bureau of Health Emergency Management will continue to identify additional private organizations and finish work with state agencies that have the potential to become closed PODs to increase the percentage of New Mexicans served in FY19.
