HealthImpact COVID-19 Vaccination Volunteer Agreement

Background. This HealthImpact Vaccination Volunteer Agreement  (the “Agreement”) governs the relationship between HealthImpact, a California nonprofit corporation (“HealthImpact”), and the health care professional agreeing to these terms (“Health Care Professional”, or “You”). The Health Care Professional seeks to volunteer with a county to administer vaccinations for the COVID-19 pandemic. HealthImpact is taking Health Care Professional’s information to include in a database which will it will provide to California counties seeing potential volunteers.

1. Health Care Professional Agrees:  
   1. To Submit Accurate Information. You agree that all of the information You are submitting is accurate, up-to-date, and truthful.
   2. To Keep Submitted Information Up To Date. You agree that if there are any changes to your professional status, availability, or other information provided as part of the portal, you will update the changed information promptly.
   3. To Supervise Students, If Qualified and Asked.  If You are qualified to supervise students who are administering vaccine at the same site as You, and those students would only be able to administer vaccine if supervised, then You agree to supervise such students.
   4. To Work Only Within Your Professional Scope Of Practice. You will ensure that your professional licensure permits administration of the vaccine, and that in actually administering the vaccine you comply with all limitations or conditions imposed by law or regulation on a person with your credentials or licensure. For example, if you are required to be supervised in the course of administering a vaccine, you agree to ensure that you are in fact being so supervise
   5. To Maintain High Standards Of Professionalism. You agree to treat all persons you encounter in the course of volunteering with dignity and respect, and otherwise act in a professional and responsible manner according to your profession’s code of ethics and professional standards. You will not advertise or promote any goods or services in the course of volunteering, and will not collect or solicit information from the public beyond what is necessary for the vaccination program, or as directed by the county or agency carrying it out.
   6. To Follow, State, Local, Federal Laws and Regulations. You agree not to break any laws or regulations, including but not limited to privacy and traffic laws, in the course of volunteering, and going to and from the vaccination site.  
   7. To Complete An Evaluation. You agree to evaluate your volunteering experience via a survey or other similar request for information, so that HealthImpact and its partners can learn from it and improve upon it for similar programs in the future.
   8. To Indemnify HealthImpact For Third-Party Claims Arising From Automotive, Personal Injury, Property Damage, or Medical Malpractice Claims Arising From Your Volunteer Activities. If HealthImpact is named as a defendant in a lawsuit brought by a third party alleging You, in the course of volunteering: caused personal injury or death, damaged property, were negligent, or breached the applicable standard of medical care; then You agree to indemnify and defend HealthImpact and officers, directors, and employees from such claims.

   2. Use Of Photos and Video.

You may always opt-out of these texts subsequently. Because HealthImpact will be providing copies of volunteers’ information to counties or agencies, you may have to opt out separately with HealthImpact and with whichever counties or agencies you indicated an interest in volunteering in.
   4. Background Checks. Inclusion in the volunteer database is contingent on the results of a professional license check and a background check for the DOJ sexual offender list and a state, national, or other criminal databases.  You consent to having HealthImpact submit your information to check against these databases, and review the resulting information, and understand that HealthImpact in its sole discretion may exclude You from the volunteer database based on its interpretation of that information. Additional consents and disclosures may be required or made by the third-party vendor conducting the background checks.
3. Nature Of Relationship. HealthImpact and Health Care Professional each understand this relationship as one where HealthImpact is acting as an information service, to take information from potential volunteers like Health Care Professional, and provide that information to California counties and agencies that will use the information to staff their COVID-19 vaccination sites with adequately-trained professionals. Health Care Professional is not and will not be an employee, volunteer, agent, or otherwise act at the direction of or on behalf of HealthImpact, and will not represent themselves as such to the public. The counties or agencies of California will be the entities for whom Health Care Provider will be volunteering, and it is the these entities which will direct Health Care Professional as to when, how, and in what manner or on what terms Health Care Professional may volunteer to administer vaccine.

HealthImpact’s cumulative liability for any claims arising out of or related to this agreement, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall not exceed $250. This waiver and limitation is a necessary part of this Agreement for HealthImpact in order to be able to provide the service that it is – connecting volunteers to volunteer opportunities – without any cost to the volunteers. This waiver and limit on liability pertains to claims against HealthImpact itself, but also against its officers, directors, employees, and agents.
6. Termination. This agreement may be terminated by either party on one day’s notice to the other, or immediately by a party if the other has breached any material term of this agreement, including any material breach of section 1 by Health Care Provider.
