Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) causes high morbidity and mortality in long-term care facilities (LTCFs). COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness against infection was 81.5% and 81.4% among fully vaccinated residents and staff in LTCFs. The vaccine effectiveness against COVID-19-associated death was 93.1% among residents, and no hospitalizations occurred among fully vaccinated staff.

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding.
