Summary

The facility failed to provide education regarding the benefits, risks, and potential side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine to 73 out of 75 employees. Interviews with staff, including the Infection Control Officer (ICO) and a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN), revealed that most employees did not receive any education on COVID-19 vaccination. The ICO initially stated that three employees had been updated on COVID-19 vaccination, but later corrected this to only two housekeeping staff members who received handouts. The ICO also confirmed that education was only provided to staff who agreed to receive the vaccine, and there was no evidence that the remaining staff received the required education. A review of the facility's policy on mandatory COVID-19 vaccination indicated that the policy did not address the requirement to provide staff education on the benefits, risks, and potential side effects of the vaccine. Interviews with additional staff, such as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), further confirmed the lack of recollection of any education being provided. Documentation reviewed by surveyors supported the finding that the majority of staff did not receive the necessary education as required.
