This facility administered the vaccine to 91.16279 percent of its residents. This is a bit lower than we expected but still a decent percentage. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
