KFF Webinar: Early Lessons from the COVID-19 Vaccine Rollout to High Priority Populations
The Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) is holding a webinar January 14, "Early Lessons from the COVID-19 Vaccine Rollout to High Priority Populations."
With the pandemic taking a heavy toll among older Americans, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and most states have placed a high priority on vaccinating residents and staff of long-term care facilities. People in nursing homes and other long-term care settings account for 8 percent of cases but 40 percent of deaths from COVID-19, a share that has remained largely consistent throughout the pandemic, according to KFF’s updated analysis.
This webinar will provide the latest data on COVID-19 cases and deaths in long-term care facilities and examine how the effort to vaccinate residents and staff in long-term care settings is going, challenges experienced so far, and opportunities for improvement.
