Develop and implement policies and procedures for flu and pneumonia vaccinations.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to offer and administer pneumococcal vaccine (PV,
immunization against bacteria that causes pneumonia [a lung infection]) for one of five sampled residents
(Resident 2) in accordance with the current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
recommendations. This failure had the potential to compromise the resident's health.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review Resident 2's clinical record indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including diabetes mellitus type 2 (a chronic condition that affects the way the body processes
blood sugar), acute respiratory failure with hypoxia, secondary hypertension (high blood pressure),
bradycardia (abnormally slow heart rate).
Review of Resident 2' Minimum Data Set (MDS, functional and clinical assessment tool), dated 10/10/22,
indicated the resident had a brief interview for mental status (BIMS) score of 13 (a score of 13 indicated the
resident was cognitively intact).
Review of Resident 2's immunization report indicated Resident 2 received pneumococcal polysaccharide
vaccine 23 (PPSV23, used to protect adults against 23 types of pneumonia bacteria) on 12/21/2012 and
10/06/2018, but was not offered an additional pneumococcal dose at least 1 year after receiving these.
There was no indication that Resident 2 received pneumococcal conjugate vaccine 20 (PCV 20, protects
against 20 types of pneumococcal bacteria) or pneumococcal conjugate vaccine 15 (PCV 15, protects
against 15 types of pneumococcal bacteria that commonly cause serious infection in adults), which should
be administered at least 1 year after as recommended by CDC.
The CDC's guidance titled Vaccines and Preventable Diseases
(https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/pneumo/downloads/pneumo-vaccine-timings.pdf), last reviewed 3/15/23,
indicated for adults 65 years or older who have only received PPSV23, the CDC recommends to give 1
dose of PCV 15 or PVC20. The PCV15 or PCV20 dose should be administered at least 1 year after the
most recent PPSV23 vaccination.
Review of the CDC's Pneumococcal Vaccination: Summary of Who and When to Vaccinate indicated
increased risk of exposure to pneumococcal infections among people 65 years or older, who are living in
nursing homes or other long-term care facilities and have chronic medical conditions such as diabetes.
During an interview with the Infection Preventionist (IP) on 8/17/23 at 10:35 a.m., she stated upon
admission, she would screen the residents to see if they were vaccinated or not. She stated the residents
would have to sign a form for consent or refusal of vaccination. The IP further stated she would keep
offering the vaccine if the resident continued to refuse and would have family involved.
During a concurrent interview and record review with facility's IP on 8/17/2023 at 1:40 p.m., the IP stated
she used the CDC's recommendations for PPSV23, dated [DATE].
During a concurrent interview and record review with the IP on 8/17/2023 at 2:30 p.m., she stated she was
not aware of the CDC's recommendations to offer and administer PCV 15 or PVC20. The PCV15 or PCV20
dose should be administered at least 1 year after the most recent PPSV23 vaccination.
