SCOPE OF WORK
The County of Fresno (County) Department of Public Health (DPH) is in need of temporary
vendors to provide on-call COVID vaccine administration teams available for vaccination events.
Licensed and unlicensed medical staff (Registered Nurses, Licensed Vocational Nurses and
Medical Assistants or Certified Nursing Assistants with valid licensure and/or certification in the
State of California) and clerical staff will be needed to conduct on-call vaccination clinics that will
provide vaccination and documentation (using the local immunization registry) to County
residents. Clinics will be held through employers or through community medical
clinic/vaccination events that may be open to the general public.
The vendor will work with County staff to determine the size, date and time of the clinic request.
Lead time to clinic scheduling will be 5 days – 4 weeks. The County anticipates 3 – 12 clinics
per month, providing services to up to 1,000 patients per clinic. Clinic times will vary as follows:
Any day of the week, including weekends and evenings.
Clinic hours will vary from 2 – 8 hours depending on size of event.
Events may be held inside, outside or as a drive thru.
Events may be located anywhere within Fresno County.
Patients served will be dependent on which vaccine is being administered at the event.
The Pfizer vaccine is authorized for use in individuals 16 years of age and older. The
Moderna vaccine is authorized for use in individuals 18 years of age and older. See
EUAs issued for each vaccine:
o Pfizer EUA https://www.fda.gov/media/144412/download
o Moderna EUA: https://www.fda.gov/media/144637/download .
o Other vaccine requirements may vary. Vendor will be required to adhere to EUA
for specific vaccines as additional vaccines are approved by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA).
Vendor will be required to work with the venue host to determine if the vendor will need
to provide tables, chairs, popup tents, etc.
At County’s request, vendor may be required to conduct a similar event at the same
venue in order to administer required second dose of vaccine. Arrangements for both
events shall be made at the same time. Timing of the second event will depend on the
recommended second dose frequency: Pfizer is currently 21 days and Moderna is one
month (see respective EUAs linked above and CDC clinical considerations linked here:
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/info-by-product/clinical-considerations.html ).
Vendor should always check for CDC and/or vaccine manufacturer updates to these
requirements prior to each event.
The requirement to conduct a second, similar event, and its timing, are subject to
change depending on vaccine availability at the time of the second event and changes in
recommended second dose administration timing.
Any extra ancillary supplies not included with vaccine shipment must be supplied by
vendor.

The County prefers that the vaccine and ancillary supplies be shipped directly to the
vendor rather than be held by the County prior to the clinic. This will be dependent on
the vendor’s ability to register as a Provider in the California Department of Public
Health’s (CDPH) Provider registration portal, ability to maintain vaccine at the
appropriate temperatures (see Cold Storage Capacity, below), and the size of the event.
The County will provide the following:
Venue and direct payment to venue for any rental costs.
Clinic date, time, location and venue contact information.
Vaccine and ancillary supplies as provided for by CDPH. Depending on vendor’s cold
chain capabilities and registered Provider status, vaccine and ancillary supplies may be
shipped directly to vendor or picked up at the Department of Public Health.
For Pfizer, Moderna, and potentially other vaccines, we expect the following ancillary
supplies to be provided with each 100 vaccine doses.
o 105 needles
o 105 syringes
o 210 alcohol prep pads
o 1 needle information card
o 100 vaccination cards
o 2 disposable face shields
o 4 surgical masks
The vendor will be responsible for the following:
County prefers vendors to enroll as a Provider in the federal COVID-19 Vaccination
Program, utilizing the California Department of Public Health’s (CDPH) COVIDReadi
portal and agree and adhere to all requirements specified in the Provider agreement
(see How to Enroll in COVIDReadi section that follows). Enrollment instructions may be
modified as CDPH is in the process of moving enrollment to a new platform, CalVax,
beginning mid-January 2021. Vendors who are enrolled as Providers in CDPH’s
enrollment system will be responsible for ordering the appropriate amount of vaccine
and ancillary supplies for receipt by the vendor prior to the event.
Vendors registered as a Provider shall administer the vaccine and enter all vaccinations
into the local immunization registry (CAIR) within 24 hours of administration; County will
assist in providing access to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) CAIR
System.
Inability to enroll as a Provider in CDPH’s portal will not preclude a vendor from
consideration. If a vendor is unable to enroll as a Provider, vendor will be required to
arrange orders with DPH and pick up all vaccine and ancillary supplies from DPH as
identified by DPH when scheduling the event.
Vendors who are unable to enroll as a Provider will be required to enter all required
patient information upon vaccine administration in the PrepMod system made available
by DPH and/or CDPH as directed by DPH.
Vendor is to provide all office supplies, ancillary medical supplies not included with
vaccine, PPE, tables, chairs, tents, etc., when needed.
Vaccine will be transferred according to CDC or VFC recommendations, such as noted
in the CDC’s Vaccine Storage and Handling Toolkit, linked here:
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/admin/storage/toolkit/index.html

Return unused/unopened vaccines to DPH the day of the event, or the day following, as
directed by DPH when scheduling the event.
Document and notify DPH of any wasted vaccine doses.
Document and notify DPH of any wasted vaccine doses.
Staff in charge of storage and handling, will complete the 7 EZIZ training modules at the
following website: https://eziz.org/eziz-training/
Per federal regulations, vendor is required to provide the appropriate EUA document to
all vaccine recipients:
o Pfizer: https://www.fda.gov/media/144414/download
o Moderna: https://www.fda.gov/media/144638/download
COVID-19 vaccination providers are required to report the following adverse events after
COVID-19 vaccination, and other adverse events if later revised by CDC, to VAERS:
https://vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.html or calling 1-800-822-7967.
Vaccination administration errors, whether or not associated with an adverse
event
Severe COVID-19 illness (e.g., resulting in hospitalization)
Serious adverse events (AE) regardless of causality. Serious AEs are defined as:
o Death
o A life-threatening AE
o Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization
o Persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to
conduct normal life functions
o A congenital anomaly/birth defect
o Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome
Important medical events that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or
require hospitalization may be considered serious when, based upon appropriate
medical judgment, they may jeopardize the patient and may require medical or surgical
intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above
Also report any additional select adverse events and/or any revised safety reporting
requirements per FDA’s conditions of authorized use of vaccine(s) throughout the
duration of any COVID-19 Vaccine being authorized under an Emergency Use
Authorization (EUA).
Per CAIR regulations, the vendor is required to either provide a paper copy of CAIR
notification or post CAIR Notification poster near registration. Details regarding
notification are available at the following website: http://cairweb.org/cair-disclosure-
policy/
Vendor must make provision for patients with a history of anaphylaxis (due to any cause)
to remain for observation for 30 minutes. For all other persons, observation period is 15
minutes.
In the event of anaphylactic reaction, vendor must maintain appropriate emergency
equipment at the event to manage anaphylaxis resulting from vaccination. See CDC
recommended equipment linked here: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/info-by-
product/pfizer/anaphylaxis-management.html. Equipment supply should be sufficient to
manage multiple patients experiencing anaphylaxis.
