Summary
The facility failed to ensure that one sampled resident was offered and/or provided updated pneumococcal vaccinations in accordance with CDC guidelines. The resident, who was of advanced age and had diagnoses including diabetes, heart failure, and pneumonia, had previously received PCV13 and PPSV23 vaccines. Documentation showed that the resident consented to receive an updated pneumococcal vaccine dose, but the vaccine was not administered after consent was obtained. Both the registered nurse and the director of nursing confirmed that the updated vaccine had not been given, despite facility policy requiring provision of the vaccine per CDC recommendations.
