Failure to Offer or Provide Required Flu and Pneumonia Vaccinations
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to offer and/or provide influenza and pneumococcal immunizations to several residents as required. Clinical record reviews and staff interviews revealed that three out of five residents reviewed did not have evidence in their records of receiving or being offered the pneumococcal vaccine. Additionally, for some residents, there was no documentation that the influenza vaccine was offered or administered. The records for each affected resident showed either a lack of documentation of vaccine administration or any indication that the vaccines were offered, despite their eligibility and admission to the facility. These findings were based on direct review of clinical records and staff interviews, with no evidence provided to show compliance with immunization requirements.
