Data provided by Big Local News.
Data from the National Health Security Preparedness Index.
The overall index is useful for examining a state’s readiness in dealing with any number of issues. There also are specific metrics that directly relate to states’ abilities to respond to the Coronavirus pandemic. With that in mind, we have pulled out and processed key metrics -- from preparedness for surge testing to evaluating how many people in each state have access to paid time off. Our goal is to make it easier for journalists to access and analyze for their reporting. For more information, please start with the NHSPI_READ_ME file. Questions? Contact biglocalnews@stanford.edu.

This includes skilled nursing facilities, rehabilitation services, etc. |
M307 |
Percent of long-stay nursing home residents in the state that are assessed and appropriately given the seasonal influenza vaccine |
This is a measure of the strength of the state's public health programs and general level of competency of long-stay resident facility managers as reflected in their effectiveness in risk avoidance through a seasonal vaccination program. It is also a measure of the population percentage who would have additional protection against seasonal flu, somewhat reducing the overall pressure on the healthcare system by mitigating the effect of seasonal flu during disaster response. |

2013—2018 |
Vaccine effectiveness varies each year as a function of the accuracy in predicting the influenza strains covered by each year's vaccine. As a result, expected influenza protection and reduced demand on healthcare facilities may be marginal in the event of a major disaster. |
