Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded a grant from the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO). This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $20,000.00 in grant money to fund the Vaccine Safety Outreach Initiative Program.

The intent of the Vaccine Safety Outreach Initiative Program is to identify sub-populations with concerns about vaccine safety and then engage the sub-populations in focus group discussions to address vaccine safety concerns within the community.
