[82.2% of Iowa nursing home staff are COVID-19 vaxxed by March 20

Covid 28 edited

A COVID-19 vaccine was administered to 82.2 percent of Iowa’s nursing and care homes workers as of March 20, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

This is a one percent increase since the previous data update on March 6. The number of staff employed in nursing and care homes can fluctuate significantly, sometimes leading to a decrease in the total percentage of vaccinated staff.

Iowa is the 13th most vaccinated state in the US among nursing and care homes.

COVID-19 claimed 21 lives in Iowa in the week ending March 20. This is a decrease from the week before.

There have been up 9,563 fatalities tied to COVID-19 in Iowa.

COVID-19 vaccinations are mandatory for US healthcare personnel due to a federal order. However, many states have raised challenges or issued separate rules about vaccine mandates for healthcare staff.

The Supreme Court in early 2022 shut down a much broader vaccine mandate which would have affected roughly 84 million US citizens.
