Subject:Agreement #29-208-77 with the California Department of Public Health, Immunization Branch
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
and under the terms of this Contract, the State provides free vaccine to the County. The
Program monitors the compliance of preschools, elementary schools, and secondary schools
in meeting State-mandated immunization requirements through in-service programs and
limited technical assistance. An adverse reaction monitoring system and outbreak control
team are also included in the Program.
On October 6, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved standard agreement #29-208-75 (as
amended by Amendment Agreement #29-208-76) with the California Department of Public
Health, Immunization Assistance Program, for the period from July 1, 2009 through June
30, 2010 for continuation of the Immunization Assistance Program.
Approvals of this Standard Agreement #29-208-77 will allow the County to continue
providing services through June 30, 2011, including agreeing to indemnify and hold the
State harmless for claims arising out of the County’s performance under this agreement.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this agreement is not approved, the County will lose funding to support and monitor the
compliance of preschools, elementary schools, and secondary schools in meeting
State-mandated immunization requirements through in-service programs to prevent the
occurrence and transmission of childhood diseases. Under the terms of this Agreement, the
County will no longer receive free vaccine from the State.
