Vaccination

Vaccination

Influenza is a very contagious respiratory infection. The influenza vaccine (flu shot) can prevent residents from getting the flu or reduce your risk of becoming seriously ill from the flu.

The pneumococcal vaccination may help residents prevent or lower the risk of becoming seriously ill from pneumonia caused by bacteria.

These findings are publically reported by the US Department of Health and Human Services on Nursing Home Compare. http://www.medicare.gov/default.asp
