Summary
The facility failed to administer a pneumococcal vaccine as ordered for one resident. The resident, who had diagnoses including asthma and protein calorie malnutrition and was assessed as having severe cognitive impairment, had a signed consent form for the pneumococcal vaccine. A physician's order was in place for the vaccine to be administered, but documentation showed the vaccine was placed on hold due to unavailability. Nursing records indicated the vaccine was not administered, and staff confirmed that the vaccine had not been given. There was no documentation of the vaccine being administered, despite the order and consent being present.
