Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) #ADHS18-177676 for immunization services between the Arizona Department of Health Services and Cochise Health & Social Services for the period of January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2022 in which funding for the six months from January 1 through June 30, 2018 totals $75,891, at which point the funding cycle will revert to 12-month periods.
Background:
CHSS has received funds for its Immunization Program since 1993 to deliver immunization services to County residents. The State, through agreements with CDC, provides the vaccine to us free of charge. The grant funds pay for management, staffing, outreach, and operating costs of this program.
Our services, which are free for all uninsured or underinsured children effective 10/1/2012, 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 at least weekly (which are heavily attended), special ‘Back-to-School’ clinics, annual involvement in Kindergarten Round-up, and additional walk-in Influenza vaccination clinics during the peak of “Flu season”. Schedules have been expanded in Douglas to additional half-day clinics to address the increased demand in this community.
This agreement modifies the scope of work by including minor changes to the previously contracted tasks such as review of AFIX reports, enhanced compliance with VFC and VFA materials and supplies management, and increased collaboration with schools to improve vaccine rates. The price sheet has not changed for this contract period.
