All children 12-17 years of age must provide a completed COVID Informed Consent – Minor Form signed by their parent or legal guardian at the vaccination site before they can be vaccinated.  The COVID Informed Consent – Minor Form is also available at each vaccination site to ensure that the child’s parent or legal guardian is able to complete prior to the child being vaccinated.

Fort Bend County HHS is excited that the pause, and research that followed, allowed the CDC and FDA to confirm the safety of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. This research found that there were only about two cases of the rare clotting disorder were found per every one million doses of Johnson and Johnson vaccine administered. We are committed to providing safe and effective vaccines that will permit our community to return to the activities we have been missing.

Many residents have been waiting for this vaccine to return to distribution. The CDC estimates that using the Johnson and Johnson vaccine in the United States will prevent more than 2,200 ICU admissions and 1,400 deaths in the next six months. Consequently we will make our supply of the Johnson and Johnson vaccines available to the public. As with all vaccines, we will make sure those who receive the Johnson & Johnson vaccine are aware of the risks and benefits. The majority of the vaccine Fort Bend County receives and administers is Pfizer. Residents will continue to receive the COVID-19 vaccine at our locations at no cost or insurance charge.

Fort Bend County Social Services and Partners Bring Christmas to Area Children with the Help of the Community

For most, Christmas can be a magical time made up of cherished childhood memories. But for many Fort Bend County area children, Christmas is often just a reminder of their families’ struggles.

Fort Bend County Collaborative Information System (FBCCIS), a collaborative made up of 11 nonprofits, are once again aiming to bring a little glimmer of hope and magic into our children’s lives this holiday season. The 5th annual Santa Claus is Coming to Fort Bend County is underway in an effort to collect enough toys to provide a memorable Christmas to Fort Bend County area children. The goal is not only to collect toys for kids, but to also let children get a chance to meet Santa Claus as he delivers their very own toys.

Donations of gifts and toys are being sought from community members to make this drive a success. Donated toys and gifts for children (ages 0-14) can be dropped off until December 7th at any of the following partnering locations:

  • Fort Bend County Social Services, Rosenberg Annex, 4520 Reading Rd Rosenberg, TX 77471
  • Fort Bend County Social Services, Missouri City Annex, 307 Texas Pkwy, #235 Missouri City, TX 77459
  • Rosenberg Fire Department Administration, 336 Hwy 36 South Rosenberg, TX 77471
  • Rosenberg Fire Department stations:
    • Station 1, 1021 Fourth Street Rosenberg, TX  77471
    • Station 2, 5320 Reading Road Rosenberg, TX  77471
    • Station 3, 6226 August Green Drive, Rosenberg, TX  77471

Volunteers are also needed. If you can spare time to be an elf for a day, or help decorate Santa’s Toyland then contact Fort Bend County Social Services at 281-344-6116 and let us know how you can help.

Take the opportunity to be a part of bringing a little Christmas joy to our local children.
