RECOMMENDATION(S):

RATIFY the execution of a memorandum of understanding with the Contra Costa Community College District for the County’s use of premises at Diablo Valley College and Contra Costa College for COVID-19 vaccination sites for the period December 28, 2020 through July 31, 2021.

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute, subject to approval by the County Administrator and approval as to form by the County Counsel, a memorandum of understanding with the Contra Costa Community College District allowing the State to use the premises at Los Medanos College for COVID-19 testing for the period January 4, 2020 through July 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact as these are a nonfinancial agreements.

BACKGROUND:

COVID-19 is prevalent throughout our community. Vaccines have been developed to protect the community from serious health impact, including death. The vaccines will prevent people needing hospital care that is overwhelming hospitals throughout California.

The two existing vaccines that have emergency approval takes two doses of the vaccine to reach full efficacy. The doses are administered 21 or 28 days apart depending on the vaccine. Getting at least 70%, if not more, of our community vaccinated will prevent the further spread of the virus. To do this it is important that the vaccine be available at many different locations with enough people administering the vaccines to reach the greatest amount of our community. This Board Order, when approved, will add three public locations that people can be vaccinated.

Approval of Memorandum of Understandings #28-947 and #28-948 will allow the County to provide additional COVID-19 vaccination sites through July 31, 2021.
The County is agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless the District for claims arising out of County’s performance under this agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the memorandums of understanding are not approved, the County will not receive additional COVID-19 vaccination sites.
