FIGURE 1.

Unadjusted trends in resident and staff COVID‐19 cases and resident deaths from December 20, 2020, to February 7, 2021. Panel A, Resident COVID‐19 Cases per 1000 Residents‐Weeks. Panel B, Resident COVID‐19 Death per 1000 Residents‐Weeks. Panel C, Staff COVID‐19 Cases per 1000 FTE Clinical Staff‐Weeks. We divided SNFs into three cohorts based on the week in which they held their first vaccine clinic: Blue Line: Cohort 1 (vaccine clinics ending 12/27/2020, n = 840); Red Line: Cohort 2 (vaccine clinics ending 1/3/2021, n = 830); Green Line: Cohort 3 (vaccine clinics ending 1/10/2021, n = 831). Panel A, The unadjusted rate of COVID cases was stable in all three cohorts up until the week ending January 17th, 2021 when resident case of COVID‐19 began to decrease each week for all three cohorts. Panel B, The unadjusted resident COVID‐19 death was relatively stable and began to decline in all three cohorts starting the week ending January 24, 2021. Panel C, Depicts the trend in unadjusted staff Cases of COVID‐19 that were increasing through the end of January 10 but then began to decrease for SNFs in the blue and red cohorts, with the decline in cases lagging for the green cohort
