BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The California Department of Public Health Tuberculosis Control Branch (CDPH TBCB) has awarded Napa County Public Health Department an additional allotment of $15,415 to add to the initial allotment of $17,085 that was processed earlier this year. The additional allotment is comprised of $6,784 State funds and $8,631 Federal funds. This brings the total allotment to date for FY 2021-22 to $32,500; State funds total $14,814 and Federal funds total $17,686.
The additional Real-Time Allotment of $15,415 is for local control of Tuberculosis (TB) disease. This additional allotment is based upon the number of TB cases reported between June 1, 2021 through October 31, 2021 and the number of completed B1-notification evaluations reported between November 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021 for immigrants arriving in our jurisdiction with a TB B-1 classification. This allotment can be used for allowable expenditures such as food, shelter, incentives and enablers (FSIE) for TB patients, contacts to TB patients and patients suspected of having TB, personnel, supplies, training, etc. To comply with federal restrictions on fund use, reimbursement of medication expenditures is limited to the state fund portion of the award.
