F 0888 Ensure staff are vaccinated for COVID-19 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on review of the facility's staff vaccination COVID-19 log, staff interview, review of the facility's policy, and review of the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) memorandum QSO-23-02-ALL, the facility failed to ensure staff were COVID-19 vaccinated, had an approved exemption, or had been identified as appropriate for a temporary delay per Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance. The vaccination rate for the facility was calculated at 74%. This had the potential to affect all 65 residents currently residing in the facility. Residents Affected - Many Findings include: Review of the Staff Vaccination COVID-19 log, provided on 10/24/22, revealed the facility had 104 employees with 60 employees vaccinated, 17 employees with a religious exemption, and 27 employees with neither a COVID-19 vaccination, approved exemption, or temporary delay. Interview on 10/26/22 at 2:48 P.M. with the Administrator revealed the employees have the choice to receive the vaccination, have an exemption, or neither.

Review of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) memorandum, QSO-23-02-ALL regarding COVID-19 health care staff vaccination, dated 10/26/22, revealed CMS expects all providers' and suppliers' staff to have received the appropriate number of doses of the primary vaccine series unless exempted as required by law, or delayed as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Facility staff vaccination rates under 100% constitute noncompliance under the rule. Review of the facility's policy titled COVID-19 Immunization Policy, last revised 08/01/22, revealed in November 2021, CMS regulated all healthcare workers are required to be COVID-19 vaccinated as a Condition of Participation (COP) regarding Medicare and Medicaid Funding. Prior to 12/06/21, as well as upon or prior to hire, the facility will determine if an employee has had the recommended vaccinations. Those who have not received the recommended vaccinations will be provided with education upon hire and given the opportunity to receive the vaccine, if consent is received, arrangements will be made. Employees have the right to decline or claim exemptions from the COVID-19 vaccine based upon medical exemption and sincere religious belief, practice, or observation.
