Summary
The facility failed to provide documented evidence that all employees, including physicians, consultants, and rehabilitation staff, were screened, educated, and offered the COVID-19 vaccine, as well as to document their current vaccination status. During an interview with the Infection Prevention Nurse (IPN) and a review of employee records, it was found that the COVID-19 immunization status for these groups was unknown, and there was no documentation to show that they had been screened, educated, or offered the vaccine. The IPN confirmed that she did not obtain the COVID-19 immunization status for these staff members. The facility's policy indicated that the COVID-19 vaccination policy applies to all employees.
