INDIANAPOLIS In a study conducted shortly before COVID-19 vaccines became available in the U.S., more than two-thirds of nursing home and assisted living staff in Indiana indicated willingness to receive a vaccine immediately or in the future. The study was led by researchers from Regenstrief Institute, Indiana University and the State of Indiana. Vaccine uptake by front-line staff is important because it will help protect against serious illness and death for the high-risk people who receive care in these facilities.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) The vaccination guidelines are pretty clear if you are going by age alone, but a handful of clinics in Indiana have allowed ineligible people to get the vaccine.
On Wednesday, Dr. Kristina Box, Indiana’s health commissioner, would not name or say many clinics violated state vaccine guidelines. However, the state will take the violators off the list of clinics accepting new vaccination patients.
“A lot of times it has been centered around the eligibility to a waitlist and the importance of that waitlist reflecting either the current eligibility we have opened up at the state level or those age groups that are close to that,” Box said.
