Board of Health 04-28-2026

The City of Norwalk Connecticut Board of Health held a meeting on April 28, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions focused on vaccine fees and medical billing improvements. The Board approved increased fees for several vaccines, including Zostavax, HPV, MenB, Prevnar 20, typhoid injectable, and yellow fever, to better cover rising vaccine costs. They also discussed engaging Manatt Consulting to assist with medical billing processes and insurance contract reviews to optimize revenue and fee-setting methodologies. The Board expressed interest in developing a formal methodology for vaccine fee adjustments and exploring more flexible fee update policies. Additionally, updates were provided on staffing, including the recruitment for an epidemiologist position and the reallocation of lead inspector duties due to budget constraints. No new contracts were awarded during the meeting, but the approval of fee increases and consultant engagement represent important procurement and budgetary actions.
