Updates to NHSN COVID Vaccine

Updates to NHSN COVID Vaccine

What’s new: Recent updates to the NHSN application impact the Person-Level COVID-19 Vaccination Forms and the Vaccination Coverage bar chart.

Zoom in on the details:

  1. If you use the optional Person-Level COVID-19 Vaccination Forms to submit your weekly COVID-19 vaccination data, demographic variables are now required for individuals currently in the facility (i.e., those without an end date or discharge date) in order to save and submit data. Please keep in mind that if you are unable to obtain this information, you can select “Unknown”.
  2. The Long-Term Care COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage bar chart reports are once again available for use. These reports are called “Bar Chart – LTC HCP COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage” and “Bar Chart – LTC Resident COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage”.
