According to a CDC report released Wednesday, an unvaccinated worker at a Kentucky nursing home caused a coronavirus outbreak in March among staff and residents, even among those vaccinated. About four dozen were infected – 26 residents and 20 employees – and two people died, including one person who had been inoculated with the virus; 22 of those infected had already been vaccinated and most had no symptoms or needed treatment. The vast majority of the house’s 83 residents (90%) had been vaccinated, but only half of the 116 employees. The study’s authors wrote, “To protect qualified nursing home residents, it is imperative that health care providers, as well as qualified nursing home residents, be vaccinated.”
