This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a deadly condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
