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 ensure the residents medical record included
documentation that indicates the resident either received the influenza and pneumococcal immunizations or
did not receive the immunizations due to medical contraindications or refusal for 1 of 5 residents (Resident
#76) reviewed for immunizations.
Residents Affected - Few
Resident #76's medical record contained no evidence of the influenza or pneumococcal immunizations
being administered.
This failure could place residents at risk for contracting a viral disease that could spread through the facility
and cause respiratory complications, and potential adverse health outcomes.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #76's admission Record printed 08/24/2022 reflected an [AGE] year-old female
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included unspecified dementia, cerebral infarction (stroke),
communication deficit, anemia (lack of healthy red blood cells), major depressive disorder, and anxiety.
Review of Resident #76's admission MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected the influenza vaccine was
not given in the facility. The MDS also reflected the pneumococcal vaccination was not up to date. The
reason the pneumococcal vaccine was not received was marked as not offered. The MDS reflected a BIMS
assessment was not completed because the resident is rarely or never understood. The MDS reflected the
resident had impaired long- and short-term memory impairment.
Review of Resident #76's Pneumococcal Vaccination and Influenza Vaccination Consent forms revealed
both forms had been signed by the responsible party on 01/19/2022 and gave the facility permission to
administer both vaccines.
Review of Resident #76's immunization record in the electronic medical record revealed no evidence of
influenza or pneumococcal vaccine administration.
During an interview on 08/24/2022 at 9:06 AM with the IP, she stated she could not find any documentation
or other paperwork regarding Resident #76's immunizations. The IP stated, I think we missed it.
During an interview on 08/24/2022 at 10:27 AM with the IP and DON, the DON stated the immunizations
may not have been given at the time because the resident was having some behaviors and the responsible
party wanted the behaviors to resolve first. The DON stated the facility had not documented any reason for
not giving the immunizations.
During and attempted interview on 08/24/2022 at 11:35 AM with Resident #76, she mumbled something
unintelligible when asked if she had ever had a pneumococcal vaccine. When asked if she had taken flu
shots every year she responded, probably then did not engage in any other interactions.
During an interview on 08/24/22 at 11:55 AM with Resident #76's Responsible Party, she stated she
remembered giving consent for both the influenza and pneumococcal vaccines. She stated she was a

Residents Affected - Few
registered nurse, and she was familiar with the immunizations. She could not recall if the resident had
received the immunizations. She stated there was no reason she could recall that she would not have
wanted the vaccines given.
During an interview on 08/24/2022 at 12:56 PM with Resident #76's Responsible Party, she stated she
thought about it some more and had to call back. She stated the resident had recently been in acute care
and inpatient rehabilitation and she must have had the immunizations at one of those facilities and that
would be why this facility did not give the immunizations. She denied having any paperwork regarding
immunization status from the previous facilities.
During an interview on 08/24/2022 at 1:20 PM with the DON, she stated the IP was responsible for
monitoring and tracking immunizations. She stated the immunizations were not given to Resident #76
because she had the immunizations before. When asked why earlier she said the immunizations were not
given because of behaviors, she stated the behavior should not stop a resident form getting immunizations.
She stated she had not looked at prior facility documents nor called the previous facility for immunization
records for Resident #76. She stated she thought the Responsible Party had reached out to the previous
facility for the immunization records. She stated it did not meet her expectations that facility had not
documented whether the immunizations had been administered. She stated and adverse outcome of not
documenting resident immunization status could be an outbreak of infections.
During an interview on 08/24/2022 at 1:34 PM with the ADMIN, he stated it does not meet his expectations
the immunization status of a resident is not documented. He stated not administering immunizations could
lead to people getting sick and spreading infection.
Review of the Pneumococcal Vaccine policy revised March 2022, reflected in part, 1. Prior to or upon
admission, residents are assessed for eligibility to receive the pneumococcal vaccine series, and when
indicated, are offered the vaccine series within thirty (30) day of admission to the facility unless medically
contraindicated or the resident has already been vaccinated. 2. Assessments of pneumococcal vaccination
status are conducted within five (5) working days of the resident's admission in not conducted prior to
admission.
Review of the Influenza Vaccine policy revised March 2022, reflected in part, 1. Between October 1st and
March 31st each year, the influenza vaccine shall be offered to resident and employees, unless the vaccine
is medically contraindicated or the resident or employee has already been immunized. 5. For those who
receive the vaccine, the date of the vaccination, lot number, expiration date, person administering, and the
site of the vaccination will be documented in the resident's/employee's medical record. 6. A resident's
refusal of the vaccine shall be documented on the informed consent for influenza vaccine and placed in the
resident's medical record.
