Infection prevention and control considerations for residents of long-term care facilities with systemic signs and symptoms following COVID-19 vaccination
Note: Strategies are needed by long-term care facilities to appropriately evaluate and manage post-vaccination signs and symptoms among their residents. The approach described in this document is intended to balance:
• the risk of unnecessary testing and implementation of Transmission-Based Precautions for residents with only post-vaccination signs and symptoms with that of
• inadvertently allowing residents with infectious COVID-19 or another transmissible infectious disease to expose others in the facility.
While this guidance is intended for long-term care facilities, it could also be applied to patients in other healthcare settings. These considerations are based on the current understanding of signs and symptoms following COVID-19 vaccination, including timing and duration, and might change as experience with the vaccine accumulates.
