PI:
Barbara Bardenheier, PhD
Priority area:
Influenza vaccination
Project:
This qualitative study captures information on nursing centers’ policies and practices related to influenza and pneumonia vaccination
Innovation:
Brown studies have established significant variation in facility-level resident influenza and pneumococcal vaccine coverage. There is a need to understand how practices differ between centers with low and high coverage before testing an intervention to increase uptake. The team will also capture some information related to COVID-19 vaccination.
