Up to Date with COVID-19 Vaccines

On January 1, 2024, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) changed the way it collects data to calculate the percent of staff who are up to date with their COVID-19 vaccination. It may take facilities some time to adapt to the new methodology. As a result, the reported percent of staff who are up to date with their COVID-19 vaccination should be viewed with caution over the next few weeks. Contact facilities directly for more information on their vaccination levels.
