COVID-19 Vaccination Rates ‘Much Too Low’ in Nursing Homes, AARP Reports.

Uptake of the new vaccines this fall is critical as winter looms.

By Emily Paulin, AARP. Published September 24, 2024.

COVID-19 cases and deaths climbed once again in U.S. nursing homes over the summer as vaccination rates continued to lag, a new AARP analysis of federal data found. While the virus has a pattern of surging at this time of year, this year’s case and death rates are tracking higher than those reported at the same time last year. As they do, the percentage of residents and workers that are up to date on vaccinations is less than half of what was reported this time last year.

AARP is urging uptake of the new COVID-19 vaccines ahead of a historically troublesome period for these facilities: winter.
