Maryland Health Department Lists Nursing Facility Vaccine Compliance

November 22nd, 2021 by WCBC Radio

The Maryland Department of Health (MDH) today announced an update on the top and bottom 10 skilled nursing facilities in the state ranked by percentage of staff with at least one dose of a vaccine against COVID-19. MDH also announced an update on skilled nursing facilities that did not submit adequate COVID-19 vaccination data as required.

 

Per vaccination protocols in effect since September 1, 2021 and reinforced on November 4, 2021 by the Federal government, all nursing facility staff are required to have their first or single dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. As of this week, 90.4 percent of staff at nursing facilities in the state have at least one dose.

 

Nursing facilities that fail to comply with vaccination protocols or do not adequately report their vaccination data are subject to fines, civil penalties, and enforcement actions. From October 19 – November 1, 2021, Maryland issued 17 citations, totaling $117,500, to nursing homes for failure to comply with reporting requirements.

 

A full list of the state’s nursing facilities and their vaccination data can be found on the Maryland Department of Aging’s Skilled Nursing Facilities Vaccination Dashboard, which is updated weekly.
