BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
This revenue agreement was first made possible from a State grant through GovOps, authorized under the State’s COVID-19 State of Emergency and the federal Public Health Emergency (PHE) for COVID-19 vaccinations and outreach. Although these Emergency orders have now been declared over, this amendment with GovOps will allow HHSA- PH to continue to spend these funds for upcoming vaccination and education events and provide outreach through brochures and flyers to be distributed through areas with the lowest vaccine penetration rates. By extending the deadline to expend these funds, HHSA- PH can provide more outreach and future vaccine clinics.
This amendment extends funding through June 30, 2024, with no change to the total revenue amount.
