Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
210 ILCS 9/76 (210 ILCS 9/76) (Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 103-844) Sec. 76. Vaccinations.
(a) Before a prospective resident's admission to an
assisted living establishment or shared housing establishment that does not provide medication administration as an optional service, the
establishment shall advise the prospective resident to consult a
physician to determine whether the prospective resident should obtain a
vaccination against pneumococcal pneumonia or influenza, or both. (b) An assisted living establishment or shared housing establishment that provides medication administration as an optional service shall annually administer or arrange for administration of a vaccination against influenza to
each
resident, in accordance with the recommendations of the Advisory Committee on
Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that
are most
recent to the time of vaccination, unless the vaccination is medically
contraindicated or
the resident has refused the vaccine. Influenza vaccinations for all residents
age 65 or
over shall be completed by November 30 of each year or as soon as practicable
if vaccine
supplies are not available before November 1. Residents admitted after November
30,
during the flu season, and until February 1 shall, as medically appropriate,
receive an influenza vaccination prior to or upon admission or as soon as
practicable if vaccine
supplies are not available at the time of the admission, unless the vaccine is
medically
contraindicated or the resident has refused the vaccine. In the event that the
Advisory
Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention
determines that dates of administration other than those stated in this Section are
optimal to
protect the health of residents, the Department is authorized to adopt rules
to require
vaccinations at those times rather than the times stated in this Section. An establishment shall document in the resident's medication record that an annual
vaccination against influenza
was administered, arranged, refused, or medically contraindicated. An assisted living establishment or shared housing establishment that provides medication administration as an optional service shall administer or arrange for administration of a pneumococcal
vaccination to each resident who is age 65 or over, in accordance with the
recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the
Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, who has not received this immunization
prior to or
upon admission to the establishment, unless the resident refuses the offer for
vaccination or the
vaccination is medically contraindicated. An establishment shall document in each
resident's
medication record that a vaccination against pneumococcal pneumonia was offered
and administered, arranged, refused, or medically contraindicated.

The Infection Prevention and Control Professionals shall be qualified through education, training, experience, or certification or a combination of such qualifications. The Infection Prevention and Control Professional's qualifications shall be documented and shall be made available for inspection by the Department. The Department shall adopt rules to implement the changes made by this amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly. (Source: P.A. 103-844, eff. 7-1-25.) |
