Summary
The facility failed to offer the updated pneumococcal vaccination (PCV20) to one resident, despite CDC recommendations indicating that a dose should be considered at least five years after the last pneumococcal vaccine. Record review showed that the resident had previously received PCV13 in 2015 and PPV23 in 2017, but there was no documentation that the updated vaccine was offered. During interviews, the Assistant Director of Nursing confirmed that there was no evidence of the PCV20 being offered, and the Director of Nursing/Infection Preventionist stated that the facility follows CDC recommendations for pneumococcal vaccinations.
