Subject:Agreement #29-208-79 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 November 9, 2010, the Board of Supervisors approved, and on December 14, 2010
corrected, Standard Agreement #29-208-77 (as corrected by Agreement #29-208-78) with
the California Department of Public Health, Immunization Assistance Program, for the
period from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011 for continuation of the Immunization
Assistance Program.
Approval of this Standard Agreement #29-208-79 will allow the County to continue
providing services through June 30, 2013, 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 would 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. Further, the County would no longer
receive free vaccine from the State.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not Applicable.
