SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chair to execute on behalf of the County, Standard
Agreement/SNAP #29-305 (Project #X-007) with the State Department of Health
Services in the amount of $20,790 for the period May 1, 1990 -June 30, 1991.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of this agreement with the State will result in $20,790 of State funding
for County's Public Health Measles Emergency Project. Sources of funding are
as follows:
$20,790 State Department of Health Services
20.790 County Share (In-Kind)
$41,580 Total Program
This is a one-time only State award for special needs during the measles
epidemic.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
The County maintains an immunization program which services all areas of the
county through low cost public clinics. During the past several years school
audits of health records, low cost clinics and toddler immunization have all been
ongoing to maintain a high level of immunizations in the county. Despite these
efforts there remains a large portion of children under five years of age who
are not immunized, and there are many adults who did not get immunized in their
school years who remain susceptible to measles.
A Public Health emergency has been declared due to the ongoing outbreak of
measles, the need to increase public awareness and to promote measles
immunizations to prevent spread of the disease and further deaths. This measles
immunization project will increase the number of hours immunizations are offered
in existing immunization clinics, and additional clinics will be held in sites
which are available to the very high risk populations such as migrant worker
labor camps, homeless shelters and gathering places for the homeless.
The Board Chair should sign four copies of the agreement, three of which should
then be returned to the Contracts and Grants Unit for submission to• the State
Department of Health Services.
