Figure 2. Nursing Home Staff Vaccination Coverage and Reported Staffing Shortages by Mandate Type, Observed and Projected If Mandate Had Not Been Adopted.

Figure plots observed (solid line) and projected (dashed line; in the absence of state mandates) coverages of nursing home staff with at least 1 dose of a COVID-19 vaccine (A) and the percent of nursing homes reporting a staff shortage (B) in states with vaccine mandates (with and without a test-out option). Projected estimates were obtained from event study regression estimates presented in Figure 1. All estimates are relative to the week prior to mandate announcement (week = −1), denoted by an open circle in the figure. Shaded areas represent 95% CIs of projected values.
