COVID-19 first-dose vaccination rates were tracked among residents and staff at skilled nursing facilities participating in a pharmacy partnership program from December 2020 to January 2021.

This text appears to be a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report on the early COVID-19 vaccination coverage among residents and staff members of skilled nursing facilities participating in the Pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care Program. Here is a summary of the report:

Background: The CDC, in collaboration with other organizations, launched the Pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care Program to provide COVID-19 vaccines to residents and staff members of skilled nursing facilities.

Methodology: The report analyzed data from December 18, 2020, to January 17, 2021, on vaccination coverage among residents and staff members of skilled nursing facilities participating in the program. The analysis included 11,376 facilities with a unique CMS Certification Number and at least one on-site clinic conducted through the program.

Findings: The report found that:

• As of January 17, 2021, approximately 77% of residents and 37% of staff members had received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine.
• Vaccination coverage varied by jurisdiction, with median percentages ranging from 51.4% to 95.5% among residents and 21.1% to 64.3% among staff members.

Conclusion: The report highlights the progress made in vaccinating residents and staff members of skilled nursing facilities through the Pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care Program. However, it also notes that there is still a need to increase vaccination coverage among both groups, particularly among staff members.
