RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, a purchase order with Sanofi Pasteur, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $375,000 for the purchase of vaccines and injectable medications at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health Centers, for the period from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.

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.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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