Summary
The facility failed to provide a pneumococcal vaccination to a resident who had consented to receive it. The resident, who had severe cognitive impairment and multiple diagnoses including dementia, congestive heart failure, and type 2 diabetes mellitus, was admitted to the facility and had a signed consent for the pneumonia vaccine on file. Upon review of records and interviews with the Infection Preventionist and DON, there was no documentation in the electronic health record that the vaccine had been administered. The DON and Infection Preventionist were unable to locate any evidence that the vaccine was given following the initial consent.
