RECOMMENDATION
Administration is recommending the approval of this Resolution to provide Flu vaccinces to
Miami Beach youth.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
On February 24, 2020, the City entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with
Borinquen Health Services to provide for funding and implementation of a Flu Shot Program at
Miami Beach public schools with additional support from partnership with The Children's Trust.
The project was funded through the general fund at a cost of $15,000 and a term of March 1,
2020 to October 31, 2020. In light of the closure of public schools and the public health concern
of the COVID-19 pandemic, at the October 14, 2020 Commission Meeting, the City
Commission approved amending the original MOU to use remaining allocated funds to expand
the flu shot program to extend to all Miami Beach youth residents under the age of 18, with flu
shots administered at City parks or recreational facilities. On November 4, 2020, the term of the
agreement was extended to March 1,2021.
The City's efforts in 2020-21 resulted in 201 youth receiving the flu vaccine.
ANALYSIS
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC)the best way to prevent flu
is with the seasonal flu vaccine. The CDC recommends that everyone 6 months and older get a
seasonal flu vaccine each year by the end of October. However, as long as flu viruses are
circulating,vaccination should continue throughout flu season, even in January or later.
Page 504 of 2012
The CDC cautions that the seasonal flu is still of grave concern. Though reports of influenza-like
illness (I LI) for 2020-21 were lower than average, I LI surveillance has been affected by the
COVI D-19 pandemic and should be interpreted with caution. Precautions taken to guard against
the spread of COVID-19 likely helped stem the transmission of seasonal flu. Relaxation of
these precautions,therefore,will likely see an increase in transmission of seasonal flu.
Given the ongoing public health concerns of the seasonal flu in tandem with the COVID-19
pandemic, the City acknowledges the continued need to ensure that all resident youth who, with
parent permission,wish to receive a flu shot, can do so at no cost.
