Fourteen-year-old Emilia López, left, received her first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital on Thursday, July 22, 2021, in Sugar Land. Fort Bend County’s vaccination rate ranks among the highest in the state, although vaccinations have slowed as demand has dropped. The county is currently trying to reach the unvaccinated through community outreach, but critics say a $345,000 federally-funded program is a waste of money. Supporters say outreach remains important because some people lack access, information or the opportunity to get the vaccine still.
