Summary

The facility failed to educate staff on the risks and benefits of the COVID-19 vaccine and did not offer the vaccine to all staff, as required by facility policy. During interviews, the Human Resources staff stated they did not maintain records of staff COVID-19 vaccinations or related education, believing that the Infection Preventionist was responsible for these records. Upon review, the Infection Preventionist confirmed that no education or offers of the COVID-19 vaccine had been provided to staff, and no documentation existed to show that staff were educated or offered the vaccine. This deficiency was identified through interviews and record reviews, and was found to be inconsistent with the facility's own infection prevention and control policy.
