Increasing Capacity to Provide Immunization Services within the Jurisdiction Karen Turner Sr Field Representative, Central Valley Cindy Klaisle, NP Sr Field Representative, Northern CDPH, Immunization Branch May 10, 2012

Background Sections 120325-120380, Chapter 435 of the Health and Safety Code states: HO required to organize & maintain a program to make IZs required for school entry available throughout the jurisdiction IAP Contract Assists in defraying costs of the program to control VPD LHDs must provide all ACIP recommended vaccines to the general public Required to identify unmet need for IS and take action to correct

LHD Immunization Service Requirements As the safety net provider for IS within the jurisdiction: Maintain inventory of vaccines required for school entry Immunize children in need of vaccines required for school entry Make available all ACIP recommended vaccines in accordance with the LHD Vaccine Eligibility Guidelines Be ready and able to respond to a VPD outbreak situation and to immunize at risk patients

LHD Immunization Services (IS) Under IAP contract: Due diligence required to directly provide IS Support for IS should come from local funds and resources Not all counties are equal Diverse levels of funding Diminishing funding Challenging populations Geographic barriers

Options for Expanding Capacity to Provide Immunization Services Use of local clinics or agencies as Health Department Authorized Sites (HDAS) to: Supplement IS provided by the LHD Rural and remote areas Special populations with unmet need Provide IS on behalf of the LHD LHD no longer has funds to provide Cannot reach populations with unmet need Co-location of LHD and public sites Unvaccinated Residents

Definition: Health Department Authorized Site (HDAS) A clinic or agency that agrees to partner with the LHD to provide IS in accordance with VFC guidelines and HDAS Vaccine Eligibility Guidelines. The site will receive vaccine from two sources, the VFC Program and the State, allowing the HDAS to assist the LHD in meeting the safety net provider requirements within the jurisdiction. HDAS are intended to ensure the continuation of immunization service delivery AND are not intended to permanently supplant the direct delivery of immunization services by the LHD.

What is a HDAS? Partnership between the LHD and the site to: Expand access to IS Improve immunization coverage rates Expand LHD capacity to areas with unmet need: Special populations Adults Vaccine hesitancy Rural or remote locations Improve efficiency and cost effectiveness

HDAS Requirements: Public, non-profit entity Willing to or is enrolled in the VFC Program (if sees patients <19YOA) Compliant with VFC Program requirements Located in an area with unmet need Provides all ACIP recommended vaccines Has the capacity to see additional patients Willing to partner with the LHD Willing to abide by LHD policy and HDAS guidelines

Final Approval: Signed MOU submitted to the SFR within 30 days of initial approval notification from the SFR SFR notifies IZ Coordinator when the authorization status can begin Site orders 317 vaccine for use under the MOU
