CDC: One-third of nursing home workers got shot

-

A little more than a third of nursing home workers have been getting COVID-19 vaccines when the shots are first offered, U.S. health officials said Monday.

The CDC looked at more than 11,000 nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities that had at least one vaccinatio­n clinic between the middle of December and the middle of January. The researcher­s found that while 78 percent of residents got at least one shot, only 37.5 percent of staff members did.
