The agreement is an effort to encourage more people in the county to get the COVID jab and Fort Bend County Commissioners just approved spending $350,000 of your hard-earned tax dollars to accomplish exactly that.
The Fort Bend County Commissioners Court agenda item for July 13, 2021 read:
"Take all appropriate action on Agreement between Fort Bend County and Next Wave Strategies, LLC for Community Vaccine Outreach, pursuant to RFP 21-077, in an amount not to exceed $350,000. (Fund: FEMA-Public Assistance)"
Teaming up with county elected officials, the Fort Bend County Health Department, DHS/FEMA and the Texas Department of Emergency Management, Community Vaccine Outreach services consultant Next Wave Strategies will develop a messaging and eventual door-to-door "canvass" to provide information to all you "high resistors" out there.
