Report
Summary
City Contract No. 153292, in the original amount of $50,000, was approved by the City Council on Oct. 7, 2020 to provide seasonal influenza and other vaccines. MCDPH will provide an additional $50,000 for the first renewal period of July 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022.
The Phoenix Fire Department (PFD) has a long history of providing immunizations at community locations, schools, community centers and other non-medical facilities, to children and adults. The PFD has successfully immunized many Maricopa County residents in partnership with MCDPH through previous agreements.
The City has partnered with MCDPH, to provide seasonal influenza vaccines (as well as other types of vaccines if needed) to individuals six months of age and older. The intent of this agreement is to increase access to vaccines thereby decreasing the overall spread of viruses.
