The purpose of the Immunization Grant is to assist local health departments in preventing and controlling vaccine preventable diseases in the local health jurisdiction. The other purpose of the Immunization Grant is to allow local health departments to assess and improve coverage levels in the jurisdiction of all vaccines recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) to protect the population. The DHHS - Public Health Immunization Program relies on this funding to provide an immunization clinic, as well as for coordinating with local providers to ensure vaccine availability, including equitable access to COVID-19 vaccinations.
Related Statutes:
• California Health & Safety Code sections:
• 120130 requires the Local Health Officer to properly report to CDPH those diseases listed as reportable, which include vaccine-preventable diseases.
• 120175 requires the Local Health Officer to take measures as may be necessary to prevent the spread or occurrence of additional cases of reportable diseases (which includes reportable vaccine-preventable diseases).
• 120350 requires Local Health Officers to organize and maintain a program to make available the immunizations required for admittance to childcare facilities and schools.
This agreement is coming to your Board after the start date due to late receipt from the state.
