We defined the exposure status and vaccination date on the basis of documentation of the vaccine application in any official registry: vaccination chart, hospital vaccine registries, or centralised registry from the Ministry of Health if available.
A nursing inservice was held on April 17 , 2002to inform staff of the initiative, the background issues and to review vaccine administration and charting.

Despite extensive chart review, Pneumococcus vaccination records could only be found for one patient (9) with a capsular serotype (23A) that was not included with the 23-valent Pneumococcus vaccine.
This resulted in dropping some data elements that were judged too time-consuming to find in the medical records (for example, date of the latest pneumococcal vaccine, which could require searching several years of charts for some residents).
Vaccine status was not, however, recorded on the medical charts so it was not possible to check the self reported information.
