COVID-19 Vaccinations in Nursing Home Residents and Staff Give Robust Protection, Though Breakthrough Infections Still Possible
Open accessAbstract
Nursing home residents and staff members who have been vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 are much less likely to become infected, have symptomatic illness, and require hospitalization compared with their unvaccinated counterparts, according to reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of cases in Kentucky and Chicago nursing facilities.Even so, a small percentage of fully vaccinated residents experienced breakthrough infections, and 2 nursing home residents died, pointing to the importance of a continued focus on infection

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
