Check out the #GetVaccinated Toolkit’s best practices checklist to make sure you are prepared for vaccination season and achieve high vaccination rates.

• Remember, there are three annual vaccines recommended for respiratory viruses that impact long term care (LTC) residents and staff: influenza, COVID-19, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV).

Why it matters: These vaccines can significantly decrease the risk of serious illness, hospitalization, or death from these common respiratory viruses.

• Older adults and immunocompromised individuals are at higher risk of becoming seriously ill from these viruses.
• Vaccination remains one of the most effective, safest ways to build immunity and prevent serious illness, hospitalizations, and death.

More resources: The 2023 #GetVaccinated Toolkit is a comprehensive resource curated to empower long term care providers in their mission to encourage and facilitate vaccinations among their residents and staff.
