Figure 2. Estimated Changes in Resident and Health Care Staff Vaccination Coverages by Selected Nursing Home Characteristics.

The Figure presents adjusted marginal changes and associated 95% CIs in resident and health care staff vaccination coverages as a function of nursing home characteristics using the most recent week of vaccination data available for each facility (n = 14 900) through the week ending July 18, 2021. Unless otherwise indicated, data in the left column are mean (SD) values. Marginal changes in coverage are estimated using linear regressions that include the variables presented here and state fixed effects. Models are weighted by resident and staff sizes with clustered standard errors. See eMethods 2 in the Supplement for full specification.

^aDefined as the total number of unique employees who worked in a facility in the fourth quarter of 2020.

^bTotal number of reported COVID-19–related deaths as of July 11, 2021, per 100 beds in the facility.

^cAll estimates presented in this category are scaled to reflect the marginal change in vaccination coverage for every 10 percentage point increase in the characteristics of interest.

^dDefined as the percentage of total direct care workers who were licensed practical nurses in the fourth quarter of 2020.

^eDefined as the percentage of total direct care workers who were registered nurses in the fourth quarter of 2020.

^fDefined as the percentage of direct care workers classified as a contract worker in the fourth quarter of 2020.

^gDefined as the percentage of direct care workers who had a work history at their current facility greater than the national median (33 weeks) in the fourth quarter of 2020.

^hEstimated using the 2018 Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics Origin-Destination Employment Statistics data.
