Summary
The facility failed to offer a pneumococcal vaccination to one resident, as identified during a review of five residents under infection control. The resident in question was admitted to the facility and, upon interview, inquired about receiving a pneumonia shot. Record review revealed no documentation of any immunizations received by the resident. Further interview with the DON confirmed that although the vaccine had been ordered, it had not yet arrived, and the resident had not been offered the pneumococcal vaccination since admission.
