Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, staff interview, review of facility policy, and review of the Centers for Disease Control
(CDC) recommendations, the facility failed to ensure residents were offered all recommended doses of the
pneumococcal vaccine and failed to ensure the medical record indicated education was provided on the
benefits, potential side effects, and the resident's or representative's acceptance or refusal of the
vaccination. This affected four (#3, #8, #32, and #45) of five residents reviewed for vaccination status. The
facility census was 54.

4. Review of Resident #45's medical record revealed an admission date of 12/12/19. Diagnoses included
diabetes mellitus type II, personal history of traumatic brain injury, hypertension, vascular dementia, and
schizoaffective disorder.
Review of the quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #45 was moderately cognitively

Further review of Resident #45's medical record revealed the resident received a Pneumovac 23
pneumococcal vaccine on 10/27/20. The medical record contained no evidence Resident #45 was offered,
received, was provided education on the benefits and potential side effects, or refusal of a PCV15 or
PCV20 pneumococcal vaccine.
Interview on 05/23/23 at 2:40 P.M. with the Administrator stated she received education today from the
corporate office related to recommended pneumococcal vaccination doses and was unaware there were
four different pneumococcal vaccines. The Administrator verified the medical records for Resident #3,
Resident #8, Resident #32, and Resident #45 contained no information that the residents or their
representatives were offered and educated on the benefits and potential side effects of immunization, or
documentation the residents received or refused immunization. Additionally, the Administrator verified each
of the residents were under [AGE] years of age and had chronic medical conditions. The Administrator was
unaware if nursing staff reviewed the resident's pneumococcal vaccination status following admission to
determine if additional doses were needed.
Review of CDC guidance titled, Pneumococcal Vaccination: Summary of Who and When to Vaccinate,
reviewed 02/13/23 and located at,
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/pneumo/hcp/who-when-to-vaccinate.html#adults-19-64, revealed the
CDC recommended pneumococcal vaccination for adults 19 to [AGE] years old who have certain chronic
medical conditions, including, but not limited to, COPD, cigarette smoking, and diabetes mellitus. Further
review revealed those adults who had never received a vaccination should receive one dose of PCV15 or
PCV20 and, if PCV15 is given, an additional dose of PPSV23 administered at least one year later. For
those adults who received a dose of PPSV23 only, the CDC recommended a dose of PCV15 or PCV20 at
least one year after receiving the dose of PPSV23.
Review of facility policy titled, Pneumococcal Vaccine (Series), dated August 2022, revealed each resident
or the resident's representative will receive education regarding the benefits and potential side effects of the
immunization. In addition, for adults 19 to [AGE] years old who have certain chronic medical conditions
including, but not limited to, chronic lung disease (COPD, emphysema and asthma), cigarette smoking, and
diabetes mellitus, a pneumococcal vaccination was recommended. For those adults 19 to [AGE] years old
who had not previously received any pneumococcal vaccine, give one dose of PCV15 or PCV20, followed
by one dose of PPSV23 at least one year later if PCV15 is used. If an adult 19 to [AGE] years old only
received a dose of PPSV23, give one dose of PCV15 or PCV20 at least one year after the most recent
PPSV23 vaccination. Lastly, the resident's medical record shall include documentation that indicates, at a
minimum, the following: the resident or resident's representative was provided education regarding the
benefits and potential side effects of pneumococcal
