A COVID-19 vaccine was administered to 93.8 percent of Hawaii’s nursing and care homes as of April 17, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
This is a 0.1 percent increase since the previous data update on March 20. The number of staff employed in nursing and care homes can fluctuate significantly, sometimes leading to a decrease in the total percentage of vaccinated staff.
Hawaii is the seventh most vaccinated state in the US among nursing and care homes.
COVID-19 claimed less than 10 lives in Hawaii in the week ending April 17. This is unchanged from the week before.
There have been up to 1,683 fatalities tied to COVID-19 in Hawaii.
Vaccination rates are consistently high across US nursing and care homes, much higher than vaccination rates in the general public.
A Brookings Institution report found even in states with most vaccine-adverse communities, such as Wyoming and West Virginia, more than 80 percent of the elderly above the age of 65 are vaccinated.
