Description:Updated July 7, 2021
Residents of long-term care facilities (LTCFs) ages 12 and older are recommended to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
Many LTCFs have a population of older adults with underlying medical conditions living closely together in residential care facilities, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and continuing care retirement communities. These medical conditions and living situations put residents at increased risk of infection and severe illness from COVID-19.
Children and adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities living in any type of congregate setting — including institutions and group homes — are considered LTCF residents. This means they are also at an increased risk of infection and severe illness from COVID-19.
