Will COVID-19 positive residents and employees be vaccinated?

Vaccine administration should be deferred if the patient tested positive until the patient recovers from acute illness and criteria have been met to discontinue isolation.

• For symptomatic patients: For most persons with COVID-19 illness, isolation and precautions can generally be discontinued 10 days after symptom onset and resolution of fever for at least 24 hours, without the use of fever-reducing medications, and with improvement of other symptoms.
• For asymptomatic patients: For persons who never develop symptoms, isolation and other precautions can be discontinued 10 days after the date of their first positive RT-PCR test for SARSCoV-2 RNA.
