Only 16% of the available doses have been administered, which is different than saying 16% of staff and residents have been given a dose. Another way of saying it is that 84% of staff and residents have refused the vaccine who have been offered the vaccine in cases where it was made available to them. Still another way of saying it is that for every 100 doses that have been given to these facilities, 84 of them are still sitting in the freezers. Your grandfather wouldn't be counted because he isn't a person who has refused a vaccine or offered a vaccine yet.
The article does say the numbers are lower than what is actually the case because there is a delay in reporting who refused a dose.
