The OIG determined that VHA could not know at a national level whether the vaccine was offered to some CLC residents, and if so, what their status was.

Onsite Surveys of Nursing Homes During the COVID-19 Pandemic: March 23-May 30, 2020
We did this review to determine the number and results of onsite State surveys of nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nursing home residents are particularly vulnerable to infectious diseases such as COVID-19, and infection control has been a persistent problem for most nursing homes.

Onsite State surveys assess the quality of services in nursing homes, a critical function for protecting...
