Why it matters
This program protects our whole community by making sure new refugees get vaccines before moving into Houston neighborhoods. When refugees are healthy, it prevents disease outbreaks in schools and keeps all families safer.
If this passes
The vaccine program continues with the correct vendor name. Refugees keep getting required shots to protect everyone's health in our communities.
If this does not pass
The contract stays incorrect, but the vaccine program would likely continue anyway since this is just a name fix.
