FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.
BACKGROUND:
Sanofi Pasteur, Inc. furnishes pharmaceuticals for patient care provided at CCRMC and Health Centers. These vaccines and other injectable medications are essential in patient care. The Department has been purchasing vaccines and other injectable medications from Sanofi Pasteur since 2007.
