Abstract
Nursing home residents are at elevated risk for severe complications from respiratory viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Nursing homes are required to report COVID-19 vaccination coverage and can voluntarily report influenza and RSV vaccination coverage among residents to CDC's National Healthcare Safety Network. The purpose of this study was to assess COVID-19, influenza, and RSV vaccination coverage among nursing home residents early in the 2024-25 respiratory virus season. As of November 10, 2024, 29.7% of nursing home residents had received a 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine. Among residents at facilities that elected to report vaccination against influenza (59.4% of facilities) and RSV (51.8% of facilities), 58.4% had received influenza vaccination, and 17.9% had received RSV vaccination. Vaccination coverage varied by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services region, social vulnerability index level, and facility size. Addressing low coverage with COVID-19, influenza, and RSV vaccines is a priority to protect residents who are susceptible to severe outcomes associated with respiratory illnesses.
期刊介绍:
The Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR ) series is prepared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Often called “the voice of CDC,” the MMWR series is the agency’s primary vehicle for scientific publication of timely, reliable, authoritative, accurate, objective, and useful public health information and recommendations.
MMWR readership predominantly consists of physicians, nurses, public health practitioners, epidemiologists and other scientists, researchers, educators, and laboratorians.
