RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director or designee, to accept on behalf of the County Grant Award #78-015 (Grantor #MPX-002) from the California Department of Public Health, to pay the County an amount up to $411,234 for Monkeypox (MPX) Response Funding, for the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Acceptance of this award will result in an amount up to $411,234 for FY 2022-2023 for MPX response services. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

This grant award covers the reimbursement for services related to the MPX state of emergency, as proclaimed on August 1, 2022. This funding will aid in the distribution of MPX vaccines, tests, outreach and education, and treatments to communities most at risk, including marginalized and disadvantaged communities. As of September 23, 2022, California has 4,886 reported case of MPX.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Health Services Department will use these funds to support efforts to vaccinate persons at risk for MPX, monitor vaccine delivery, advance equity and outreach groups who are eligible for vaccination but underrepresented among those receiving the vaccine, and provide information to the highest risk residents including gay, bisexual, transgender, and other men at risk for sexual transmission through June 30, 2023.

The Health Service Department received a notice of award from the California Department of Public Health on October 7, 2022 for this retroactive allocation.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the department will not be able to receive the State allocation for MPX services provided during the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, which will impact other public health funding resources.
