Summary
Facility B failed to maintain documentation of current COVID-19 vaccination status for its staff members. Interviews with the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Administrator revealed that the facility did not have records indicating whether staff were immunized or not, and both were unaware of the requirement to keep such documentation. Although education on COVID-19 vaccination was provided, there was no system in place to track or document the vaccination status of staff members. This deficiency had the potential to affect all 132 residents and all staff in the facility.
