Summary
The facility failed to offer the most recent COVID-19 vaccine or document the refusal of the vaccine for staff members, as required. During a survey, review of six randomly selected employee files revealed that five staff members did not have documentation indicating they were offered the current COVID-19 vaccine, nor was there documentation of acceptance or refusal. This lack of documentation was confirmed by both the regional Nurse Consultant and the Director of Nursing. The Director of Nursing also reported that one of the staff members was no longer employed at the facility and no declination could be provided for that individual.
