Agenda Item Text:
Approve Purchase Order #E1H38381, for IGA# HG854282, Immunization Program, between the Arizona Department of Health Services and the Cochise County Health Department, in the initial amount of $17,335 for the period of 1/1/11 – 12/31/11.
Background:
The Health Department has received funds for its Immunization Program since 1993 to deliver immunization services to County residents. The State provides the vaccine to us free of charge. The grant funds pay for management, staffing, and operating costs of this program.
Our services, which are free for all children, include: immunizing children against vaccine preventable diseases during the course of their childhood, maintaining their vaccination records in accordance with state and national requirements, and assisting school age children with required vaccinations in order to meet school registration and advancement requirements. The Public Health Nurses at all five Health Department locations conduct regular clinics weekly (which are heavily attended), in addition to monthly evening clinics, year round.
The most recent IGA Amendment provided a price sheet which denotes reimbursement rates per visit. The total expected amount available for payment during this grant year ($86,273) has not changed. This purchase order denotes the initial amount payable ($17,335). The state has notified our program that the remaining expected funds will be available to counties after the state’s budget process has been completed and before the end of the contract period.
