More than 2/3 of Indiana nursing home staff would take COVID-19 vaccine

(Regenstrief Institute) In a study led by Regenstrief Institute, Indiana University and the State of Indiana, conducted shortly before COVID-19 vaccines became available in the US, more than two-thirds of nursing home and assisted living staff in Indiana indicated willingness to receive a vaccine immediately or in the future. Vaccine uptake by front-line staff is important because it helps protect against serious illness and death for the high-risk people who receive care in these facilities.
