Abstract

Objective: to analyze vaccination coverage against COVID-19 in long-term care institutions for the elderly. Method: cross-sectional study with aggregated data provided by the Intersectoral Monitoring Commission of Long-Term Institutions of Bahia. We included the institutions identified in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, with at least one elderly resident (60 years or older) who responded to the vaccination survey conducted between May and July 2021. Results: the sample consisted of 83 establishments, with a predominance of private (50.1%) and philanthropic (32.5%) institutions. Vaccination coverage for COVID-19 reached 94.7% of elderly residents and 75.2% of workers. Conclusion: the study shows high vaccination coverage in elderly residents of these institutions, but lower coverage among workers. Maximizing vaccination coverage among caregivers and residents is essential, due to the extreme vulnerability of the elderly population institutionalized to COVID-19.
