This is a 2.1 percent increase since the previous data update on Feb. 6. The number of staff employed in nursing and care homes can fluctuate significantly, sometimes leading to a decrease in the total percentage of vaccinated staff.
Alabama is the 43rd most vaccinated state in the US among nursing and care homes.
COVID-19 claimed 88 lives in Alabama in the week ending March 6. This is a decrease from the week before.
There have been up 18,716 fatalities tied to COVID-19 in Alabama.
COVID-19 vaccinations are mandatory for US healthcare personnel due to a federal order. However, many states have raised challenges or issued separate rules about vaccine mandates for healthcare staff.
The Supreme Court in early 2022 shut down a much broader vaccine mandate which would have affected roughly 84 million US citizens.
