Vaccination rates for COVID-19 among the staff at New Jersey’s long-term care facilities vary widely, but are too low at many facilities to prevent future outbreaks of the disease that has claimed more than 8,020 staff and resident lives so far at such facilities  more than one-third of the state’s pandemic deaths.  “It appears efforts to provide access and education to long-term care health care providers are falling short of what we had hoped,” said Melissa O’Connor, a professor at Villanova University’s nursing school, whose work focuses on geriatrics. The snapshot of vaccination rates, from data reported by the nursing homes for April 21, underscores the challenges that remain for both long-term care and the public at large in overcoming vaccine hesitancy to reach a level of immunity that will slow and ultimately stop the pandemic’s spread.
