New York Hospice Staff COVID-19 Vaccination Reports

Health.data.ny.gov provides a dataset tracking COVID-19 vaccination status for hospice staff across New York State. It includes counts of partially and fully vaccinated direct care and total staff at the agency level. The dataset was archived and ceased updates on January 22, 2025.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal trends in HOSP_STAFF_FULLVAC and HOSP_DC_STAFF_FULLVACC rates by County using the Date of Report field.
• Compare vaccination coverage between direct care staff (HOSP_DC_STAFF_ONEDOSE) and total staff (HOSP_STAFF_ONEDOSE) across different Reporting Organizations.
• Model the relationship between staff vaccination rates (HOSP_STAFF_FULLVAC) and booster uptake (HOSP_STAFF_BOOSTER) at the facility level using Unique Facility ID.
• Assess geographic disparities in hospice staff vaccination by aggregating HOSP_DC_TOTAL and HOSP_STAFF_NUM figures per County.

Strengths

• Includes 11 specific columns for detailed analysis of staff categories and vaccination doses.
• Provides facility-level granularity through the Unique Facility ID and Reporting Organization fields.
• Covers hospice agencies across all counties in New York State.

Limitations

• Dataset is archived and no longer updated, limiting analysis to a historical period ending in early 2025.
• Sample size and total row count are unknown, preventing assessment of statistical power.
• Lacks demographic breakdowns of staff (e.g., age, role) beyond the direct care vs. total distinction.
