BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The California Department of Public Health Tuberculosis Control Branch (CDPH TBCB) has awarded Napa County Public Health Department the initial allotment of $6,935 for FY 2022-23. The allotment is comprised of $3,269 State funds and $3,666 Federal funds.
The initial Real-Time Allotment of $6,935 is for local control of TB disease. This initial allotment is based upon the number of TB cases reported between January 1, 2022, through May 31, 2022, and the number of completed B1-notification evaluations reported between December 1, 2021, and May 31, 2022, 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, 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.
