DISCUSSI�N: Qn August 9, 2QQ9 {I111&C G18705, �rdinance Na. 1�4742), the City Gouncil authorized a grant contract with tf�e Texas Depar�men# of Health ta prorride immunization ou�treach to the commur�ity. Texas immunization coverage I���Is for two-year old ch�ldren differ profoundly from �he national le�el. The Texas coverage for two-year �[ds r�ached a plateau in 1996 at 74%. In 1998, immunizatEon levels far Texas two-year ofds wer� seven percentage points be[ow the national level (81%}. The fun�amental reason for under-immunization are those factors related to paverty. Removing financial and access barriers can overcome these factars. T�xas paren#s orrerwhelmingly believe in the importance of immunizations for their c�ildren, yet may not cansider t�� importance af timing, or may nof know when imm�nizations are due. Variaus facus groups reuealed parental confusion about the scheduEe, the need far numeraus shots, and the low awareness about immunization services. Th� goal ofi this proposal is t� utilize immunizatian funds to acf�ie�e and maintain 9Q% vaccine coverage far DTaP, PCV-7, [PV, MMR, HepB, Hib, and Varicella vaccines in a targ�t popu[ation of pre�ch�al age childre� �#hose under 5 years of age). �"ity of �ort T�orth, T'exas Ni�yor �r�d �oun�il Gommu�ic�tio� pATE REF�R�NC� NUMBER LOG NAME PAGE 81131�2 **��� 9'� 9� + 500UTREACH 2 af 3 su���eT APPROPRIATE�N ORDiNANCE AND CONTINUATION F A GRANT GONTRACT WITH THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO PROVIDE IMMUNIZATION OUTREACH TD THE C4MMUNITY Ti�e City's Public Hea[th Depa�tment, Outr�ach Division is proposing a continued partnersF�ip with the Fire D�partme�t to immunize more preschool age children. This partnership with emerge�cy personnel makes sense for c�ur community. The personnel are medically trained, know thei� neighborhoods, and these sta#ions are "safe havens" in the community. The statians are easiiy accessible, American Disabilities Act compliant, and appealing to yaung children. Enlisting firefighters and param�dics to became immunization partners creates an innovative collaboration in praviding needed services to the communify. 7here will be no charge for th� immunizations. As part of the advocacy role, outreach staff is extremely aware ofi the lack o� acc�ss to health services. This is especially acute ir� the area of immunizatiot�. The targ�t group of infants and preschoolers in the City is caught in this lack of access. An event in J�ne 20D0 provided immunizations to 259 children. Of thaf total, 47°lo were 2 t� 4 years of ag�, infierring that these infants and toddlers are not getting immunizations regularly from a primary care pr�vider. According �o th� 1998 Community Needs Assessment, 21.9°14 of chi[dren less thar� 5 years of age had no insurance. The program is currently operating in two fire stations locat�d in differe�t geographical quadrahts o� the City. Ti�ese locations are close to "pockets of neecf". The locations are: Station 1 a, 31 a0 Azle Avenue, 7fi'I�6, and Station 17, 212 East Felix Street, 76115. Services are offered twa times a month for three hours per station, total�ng twel�e hours per month. In six months, this program has served �[44 ehsldren under the age of 5 years, and 47 v�rho were 6 years of age ar older; �19 immunizations were administered. Accvrding to tY�e 20Qa US Census 6ureau, 5,14� children under the age of 5 resided in zip cade 761 a6, and 228 resided in zip code 7f 915. Training wi!! be #acilitafed by Public Health Dutreach nursing staff (�sing Texas Department of Heafth guidelines) and the Emergency Pnysicians Advisary Board's standing pratocol from the Fire �epartment. Paramedics vtiril! administer immurtizativns during the evening and weekenci ha�rs. The program coordinatar and Outreach staff will distribute infarmation about the availability of serrrices to recreation centers, apartments, neighborhood day-care centers, and faith-based organizatior�s ta assure #he pubfic is in#ormed of the immunizatifln services.� �ata collection will be canduc4ed using the Clinic Assessment Software Applicatior� Program. Data will be downloaded to the Texas Department of Health's "ImmTrac" computer sy�tem. Ta ensure compliance, a reminderlrecafl system i�as �een developed where a reminder postcard is maiied to the child's parant/s infarming them of #heir next scheduled immunizationls. Ta motivate the parents fo cansistently camply with the immunization schedule, various incentives are gi�en to them such as T�s�irts, stickers, safety pops, and first aid kits. T�e waiver of indirect casts is requested in arder to maximize the eff�ctiveness of the program.
