RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with Sanofi Pasteur, Inc., in the amount of $225,000, for the purchase of vaccines and injectable medications for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and the Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.

BACKGROUND:

Sanofi Pasteur, Inc. furnishes pharmaceuticals for patient care provided in the hospital and the clinics. These vaccines and other injectable medications are essential in patient care. We have been purchasing vaccines and other injectable medications from Sanofi Pasteur since 2007 under Novation contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Purchase Order is not approved, we will not be able to provide needed vaccines and other pharmaceutical products for our patient population at the CCRMC and Health Centers. As part of our responsibility as a health care organization, we must provide needed vaccinations for our patient population in order to prevent disease and the spread of disease.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
