Vaccination rates among residents and staff at skilled nursing facilities remain above 90%, however many have yet to receive their booster shot.
According to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, 91% of eligible residents and 97% of eligible staff are fully vaccinated. However, only 82% of eligible residents and 65% of eligible staff have received their booster shots, as of Jan. 9. The percentage of boosted staff jumped by 11% since the end of December. Healthcare workers are required to receive their boosters by Feb. 1, according to the revised Health Officer Order issued late last December.
Officials continue to encourage residents to receive their booster shots after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention discovered that unvaccinated adults are five times more likely to contract the virus compared to fully vaccinated and boosted adults. On Monday, officials announced 25,784 cases with a positivity rate of 13.5%. Public Health also reported 27 news deaths all but two were older than 49 years old.
