Vaccination rates for the 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine remain extremely low for residents in MA nursing facilities. NHSN data from the week ending October 20, 2024, indicates only 17.6% of nursing facility residents have received the updated COVID-19 vaccine ranking MA as 35th out of 50 states and below the national average of 19.7%. It is imperative that as we enter respiratory virus season, nursing facilities prioritize vaccinating residents to prevent serious illness and hospitalizations. Mass Senior Care would like to understand the barriers and challenges to vaccinating residents in your nursing facility and ask that you complete this brief survey by Tuesday, November 12, 2024.
