A. Background
In its jurisdiction, CCBH coordinates vaccination operations through both public and
private points of dispensing (“POD”). The collaboration between the County, CCBH,
and the Jurisdiction enhances Cuyahoga County’s ability to respond to the COVID-
19 Pandemic. The Ohio State Board of Emergency, Medical, Fire, and Transportation
Services (EMFTS Board) passed the fallowing motion on August 19, 2020:
The Board recognizes that EMS oertifioate holders are permitted to
administer vaocinations so long as the route of administration is within the
scope of practice and the certificate holder administers the vaocine
pursuant to medical direction and training on the specific vaccine, which
includes adherence to the recommendations and instructions of the Food
and Drug Administration.
B. Liability

to) vaocines, antimicrobials/antibiotios, and antitoxins for pre-exposure and post

treat harm from a condition that may result in adverse health consequences or death
and may be caused by administering a drug, biological product, or device against
such an agent; and is determined by the Secretary of Health and Human Services to
be a necessary countermeasure to protect public health.”

term's “manufacturer”, “distributor”, “program planner”, and “qualified person”. By
