Staff inside nursing homes and assisted living facilities are refusing the COVID-19 vaccines at an alarming rate -- even though the residents in their care have been the most likely to die from an infection.

A recent CDC report found 37.5% of nursing home workers opted for the vaccine when offered, compared with 78% of nursing home residents.
