Summary
The facility failed to maintain documentation showing that two residents either received or declined the pneumococcal vaccine. Immunization records printed for these residents did not indicate administration or refusal of the vaccine. During an interview, the Director of Nursing confirmed that there was no documentation available for these residents regarding the pneumococcal vaccine. Additionally, when requested, the facility was unable to provide its immunization policy before the survey concluded. These findings were based on both interviews and record reviews, and involved a sample of residents reviewed for immunizations.
