Common use of Vaccination Dose Delivery Payment Clause in Contracts

Vaccination Dose Delivery Payment. Through the Vaccination Dose Delivery Payment, the Commonwealth will provide a 50 per cent contribution to the agreed price per vaccination dose delivered by the States, through monthly payments. The Commonwealth will contribute to the agreed price per vaccination dose delivered for all persons living in Australia. This includes all Australian citizens, permanent residents and all visa holders including those who are not eligible for Medicare. The agreed price per vaccination dose delivered is $27.50. Where a person receives the vaccine in a State vaccination facility that is in an area classified as Modified Monash 2-7, the agreed price per vaccination is $32.45. The agreed price covers the costs directly related to the delivery of vaccinations. Additional costs incurred by States other than those eligible under the Vaccination Roll-out Support Payment are not included in recognition of the Commonwealth’s significant upfront investment in the acquisition and delivery of vaccines, as well as costs for consumables. In line with this Agreement, the Commonwealth will pay the Vaccination Dose Delivery Payment amount for each state for the month in the next available payment round after receiving advice from the Administrator. Initial Payment Arrangements At the beginning of each month, States agree to provide the Administrator actual vaccination doses delivered in the month prior. The Administrator will calculate the Vaccination Dose Delivery Payment Amount for each State for the month prior using the following calculation: π‘‰π‘Žπ‘π‘π‘–π‘›π‘Žπ‘‘π‘–π‘œπ‘› π·π‘œπ‘ π‘’ π·π‘’π‘™π‘–π‘£π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘¦ π‘ƒπ‘Žπ‘¦π‘šπ‘’π‘›π‘‘ π΄π‘šπ‘œπ‘’π‘›π‘‘ = π‘†π‘‘π‘Žπ‘‘π‘’ π·π‘œπ‘ π‘’ π΄π‘π‘‘π‘’π‘Žπ‘™ Γ— π΄π‘”π‘Ÿπ‘’π‘’π‘‘ π‘ƒπ‘Ÿπ‘–π‘π‘’ Γ— 50 π‘ƒπ‘’π‘Ÿ 𝐢𝑒𝑛𝑑 The Administrator will then reconcile the total Vaccination Dose Delivery Payment Amount against each State’s Upfront Payment, using the following calculation: π‘ˆπ‘π‘“π‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘›π‘‘ π‘ƒπ‘Žπ‘¦π‘šπ‘’π‘›π‘‘ βˆ’ π‘‡π‘œπ‘‘π‘Žπ‘™ π‘‰π‘Žπ‘π‘π‘–π‘›π‘Žπ‘‘π‘–π‘œπ‘› π·π‘œπ‘ π‘’ π·π‘’π‘™π‘–π‘£π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘¦ π‘ƒπ‘Žπ‘¦π‘šπ‘’π‘›π‘‘ π΄π‘šπ‘œπ‘’π‘›π‘‘ = π‘…π‘’π‘šπ‘Žπ‘–π‘›π‘–π‘›π‘” π‘ˆπ‘π‘“π‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘›π‘‘ π‘ƒπ‘Žπ‘¦π‘šπ‘’π‘›π‘‘ Once the Administrator has determined that the Remaining Upfront Payment for a State has reached zero that State will receive the Vaccination Dose Delivery Payment according to the payment arrangements set out below.
