The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued a revised letter (PL 2021-01) regarding COVID-19 vaccination reporting for nursing facilities (NFs) and assisted living facilities (ALFs). The letter updates vaccine reporting requirements and states that facilities not reporting to the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) must report vaccination data to HHSC within 24 hours of completing a round of vaccinations. The emergency rules also require all facilities to enroll in an emergency communication system, with enrollment instructions to be provided by HHSC. Facilities must report aggregate numbers of staff and residents who received their first, second, additional, or booster doses of COVID-19 vaccines. The reporting should be done using the Survey Monkey tool provided by HHSC. Accurate reporting will assist the State of Texas in ensuring full deployment of COVID-19 vaccines during the public health emergency.
