Failure to Screen and Offer COVID-19 Vaccination to Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that all residents were screened for and offered the COVID-19 vaccination, as required. During a review of immunization records for five residents, it was found that two residents did not have any documentation indicating they had been screened for or offered the COVID-19 vaccine. This lack of documentation was confirmed during an interview with the Director of Nursing, who acknowledged that the facility did not have an adequate process in place for resident immunization screening and documentation. The deficiency was identified through both record review and staff interview, with specific reference to the absence of required documentation for two residents regarding COVID-19 vaccination screening and offering.
