Background and Discussion:

Request to update the funding source of one (1) position from the GY22 Immunization COVID19 grant (2601) to the Medicaid Administrative Claim (2316) fund, to allow our agency to continue meeting strategic public health goals and community immunization commitments. Our immunization program is vital to public health because it protects individuals and communities from infectious diseases, reduces healthcare costs, and contributes to the overall societal well-being of Harris County residents.

Updating these position’s funding source is critical to maintaining immunization services across the county, particularly in underserved communities.
