SUBMITTED BY: David Luchini, RN, PHN, Director, Department of Public Health
SUBJECT: Retroactive Third Amendment to Revenue Agreement with the California Department of Public Health for Immunization Program Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
1. Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute retroactive Amendment No. 3 to State Agreement No. 17-10306, A03 with the California Department of Public Health for immunization services, effective July 1, 2021, with no change to the term through June 30, 2022, and increasing the maximum by $10,559,074 to a total of $13,394,375; and
2. Approve and Authorize the Director of the Department of Public Health to submit future requests to roll over funds and submit reimbursement claims through June 2024 upon release of State processes, without change to total award ($0).
REPORT
There is no additional Net County Cost associated with the recommended actions. The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has increased the County's FY 2021-22 funding for the Immunization Program to enhance immunization activities including COVID-19 vaccine-related activities. CDPH has also communicated a future opportunity to request an extension on the term allowing the funds to be available to reimburse for activities through June 2024. Approval of the recommended actions will accept the increased allocation ($10,559,074) for FY 2021-22, allow the Director to submit future term extension and claims requests. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
There is no viable alternative action. Should your Board not approve the recommended actions, the Department would be unable to fully fund general immunization services and COVID-19 vaccine-related activities, which include planning, vaccine distribution, and vaccination administration activities.
