Summary of Request:
On March 16, 2021, The California Government Operations Agency transmitted a letter to California Chief Administrative Officers/Legal Counsel for California’s Local Health Jurisdictions regarding county participation in the state’s vaccine provider network under the Third-Party Administrator (TPA) and the associated request from the Administration for counties to approve/sign the memorandum of understanding (MOU). In response to the concerns of the counties and the preference to enter into agreements with the state versus the third-party administrator, this MOU has been drafted through the collaborative efforts of the counties and the state.
The state originally advised counties that they would be required to enter into a contract with Blue Shield as the TPA in order to participate in the statewide vaccine provider network, despite the fact that counties are already operating vaccination sites.
Approval of this MOU is required for the County to continue to administer COVID-19 vaccinations and ensures the state will exercise reasonable effort to allocate sufficient doses of the vaccine for our administration to eligible individuals. This MOU requires each provider to use MyTurn.ca.gov to submit all required data reasonably necessary to manage the statewide vaccine network. This MOU requires that the County, as a provider of vaccinations, follow state criteria in determining eligibility for vaccination appointments, prioritization of appointments, including targeting appointments to members of underserved communities that have suffered a disproportionate burden of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Do not approve the MOU and provide alternate direction to staff.
