COVID-19 vaccine side effects among nursing home residents and staff Despite proven vaccine effectiveness, vaccine hesitancy among NH staff has been a considerable barrier to vaccination, with majority of hesitant staff reporting concerns about adverse effects (70%). 5 For NH residents, scarce information about adverse effect data exists as vaccine trials have generally excluded them, although COVID-19 vaccine administration has been deemed to be safe in older adults.
