Abstract:
Key Takeaways. (1) Nursing facility immunization programs have yielded high but unchanging resident vaccination rates for more than a decade, consistently falling short of the CDC’s goal of 90 percent. (2) Federal and state regulations and facility policies have resulted in nursing facility immunization programs that vary from state to state and facility to facility. (3) COVID-19 presents an opportunity for facilities to make administrative and programmatic improvements across immunization programs.
