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.

January 2019 Brazos River Update / Enero 2019 Actualización del Río Brazos

 

FORT BEND COUNTY, TX – Fort Bend County Judge KP George visited the Emergency Operations Center today to get updates from the Office of Emergency Management following an update call form the National Weather Service.

As the rain continues to move out of our area, reports indicate that up to 3 inches of rain fell in parts of the County. The areas to the north and west which drain into the Brazos River saw as much as 4 inches, but generally the same 1-3 inch volume we had here in the County. The Fort Bend County Drainage District is monitoring stream gauges upstream of the Brazos and we will have a clearer picture of the crest timing and level on Friday, January 4th. Any impact along the Brazos would be expected in the middle of next week at the earliest. The San Bernard river is not expected to flood in Fort Bend County and the Barker reservoir is still low, under 9% of capacity.

The Fort Bend County Drainage District is continuing to send reports to the Emergency Operations Center, and Office of Emergency Management staff are closely monitoring the situation.

Residents should check the Fort Bend County Office of Emergency Management Rivers page for more information about the rivers in the County, and continue checking the Office of Emergency Management Facebook and Twitter pages for updates as conditions warrant.
