Continued need for non-pharmaceutical interventions after COVID-19 vaccination in long-term-care facilities

Abstract Long-term care facilities (LTCFs) bear disproportionate burden of COVID-19 and are prioritized for vaccine deployment. LTCF outbreaks could continue occurring during vaccine rollout due to incomplete population coverage, and the effect of vaccines on viral transmission are currently unknown...
