Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve IGA# ADHS18-177676 Amendment 1, Immunization Services, between the Arizona Department of Health Services and Cochise Health & Social Services, with annual funding remaining static at $128,415.
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, 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 amendment modifies the scope of work by including certain changes to the quality improvement program to align with CDC directives. The price sheet has not changed for this contract period.
