DATE: May 30, 1996 _ County
Approve submission of Funding Application #29-208-54 to the tate Department of
SUBJECT: Health Services
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize submission of Funding Application #29-208-54 to the State
Department of Health Services, in the amount of $466,858, for the period from
July 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997, for continuation of the County's
Immunization Assistance Program.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of this application by the State will result in $466,858 for the
Immunization Assistance Program during Fiscal Year 1996-97. No County funds
are required.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
For many years the County has maintained programs to make immunizations
available to all persons in need of this service, in order to prevent the
occurrence and transmission of childhood diseases. The Immunization Assistance
Program (IAP) is operated by the Public Health Division of the Health Services
Department.
Funding Application #29-208-54 requests State funding to continue services
during Fiscal Year 1996-97. The Department will continue to monitor the
compliance of preschools, elementary schools, and secondary schools in meeting
State-mandated immunization requirements. IAP staff will also maintain the
adverse reaction monitoring system, outbreak control team and a computerized
retrievable immunization record keeping system.
This funding will allow increased clinic hours to provide daily and evening
clinic services, expanded collaborative outreach efforts with public and
private community agencies/providers to target the "hard to reach" children in
need of immunizations, and participation in the development of an immunization
registry which will link all immunization providers in the county. These
efforts are directed toward the Year 2000 goal of having 90% of Contra Costa
County's children completing their basic immunization series by two years of
age.
This application must be approved in order for the County to continue to
receive free vaccine from the State. Seven certified and sealed copies of the
Board Order should be returned to the Contracts and Grants Unit for submission
to the State Department of Health Services.
