Summary
The facility failed to ensure that immunizations were reviewed and administered for one of twenty-four sampled residents. During an interview, a staff member reported that an audit revealed missing consents for several residents, including the affected individual. Review of the resident's electronic health record and the State of Montana Official Immunization Record showed no documentation of pneumonia vaccines being administered or declined for this resident. The facility's policy requires pneumococcal vaccination upon admission after review, with repeated vaccination per CDC guidelines, but this was not followed for the resident in question.
