Fort Bend County residents are receiving their coronavirus vaccines at rates above most suburban and urban counties in Texas, with some 71 percent of the population age 12 and older having received at least one dose, according to state data.
County Judge KP George took to social media on June 23 to celebrate the countyâs efforts, saying Fort Bend was leading Texas in getting vaccinated and returning to normal.
âLet me be clear,â George said. âFort Bend Countyâs aggressive COVID vaccination program is an American success story.â
The numbers come as Fort Bend health officials step up their efforts to vaccinate more students and younger residents.
