Summary
The facility failed to obtain consent or declination for the Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV20) for two residents, despite reviewing their immunization status as part of a sample of five residents. For one resident, the clinical record showed declinations for PCV13 and PPSV23, but lacked documentation that PCV20 was offered, declined, or previously administered. For another resident, records indicated administration of PPSV23 and PCV13, but again lacked documentation regarding PCV20 being offered, declined, or historically administered. Additionally, an administrative nurse was unable to confirm which immunizations were offered at the facility, and the facility did not provide a policy for immunizations.
