Abstract

Older people living in residential care in Australia and many other countries have been particularly affected by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), because older people are at increased risk of severe illness and death. Vaccination of both residents and staff in residential care settings is a crucial measure to protect older members of the community.
