Agenda Item Text:
Approve a Memorandum of Understanding between Fry’s Food Store in Sierra Vista and Cochise County for the purpose of providing mass distribution of vaccinations or medications in the event of a disaster or emergency to Fry’s employees and their families, utilizing a closed point of dispensing method.
Background:
Since February of 2009 the Board of Supervisors has sanctioned 45 original Memoranda of Understanding between various local agencies and Cochise County’s Public Health Emergency Preparedness Program. The purpose and intent of all these MOU’s is to enhance the public health emergency preparedness of our community through engagement of local partners in providing space or services to assist the County in emergency situations. This Fry’s MOU is the first closed point of dispensing MOU in the County.
This Fry’s Food Store MOU has been reviewed and approved by the County Attorney's Office and their assistance with this effort is greatly appreciated.
