§ 2193. Resident immunization. 1. Upon admission, a long-term care
facility shall notify the resident of the immunization requirements of
this article and request that the resident agree to be immunized against
influenza virus and pneumococcal disease.

2. Every long-term care facility shall document the annual
immunization against influenza virus and immunization against
pneumococcal disease for each resident. Upon finding that a resident is
lacking such immunization or the long-term care facility or individual
is unable to provide documentation that the individual has received the
appropriate immunization, the long-term care facility shall provide or
arrange for immunization. Immunization and the documentation thereof
shall take place no later than November thirtieth of each year.

3. An individual who becomes a resident after November thirtieth but
before April first shall have his or her status for influenza and
pneumococcal immunization determined by the facility, and if found to be
deficient, the facility shall provide or arrange for the necessary
immunization.
