CMS Launches Online Tool To Compare Vaccination Rates in Nursing Homes


The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently launched an
online tool to track COVID-19 vaccination rates for staff and residents in
long-term care facilities. The website includes national data, vaccination
rates by state, and a searchable map with facility-specific information.
CMS reports that as of September 5, 2021, the national vaccination rate for
residents in long-term care facilities was 84.1%, while the national
vaccination rate for staff was only 63.7%.
