hours over the long term doesn't make a big difference. and it might give the teams a little bit longer to really be even more prepared. >> reporter: marin county public health officer says the county has been at the top of the list to receive the vaccine due to its ultra cold storage availability. as soon as the county received the news they got on a call with their local hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. >> they had planned to start vaccinating staff tomorrow, tuesday. that will now start on thursday which puts them into the weekend. >> reporter: all skilled nursing facility staff will be vaccinated by monday. >> in some ways these little adjustments are expected. it's such a large operation with so many moving parts. >> reporter: marin was not the only county whose plan was revised though he department know which other counties were impacted. >> the main thing we have a vaccine that's safe and effective. it seems like it's actually working. >> reporter: marin county is expecting 300 doses of the

i called five hotels in san diego where my parents live and where usually i would visit for the holidays. the first four told me they would book me a reservation on christmas no questions asked, one even told me their pools were open for use. it was only the fifth hotel that told me they're not taking any reservations because of the new restrictions. but i appreciate you taking the precaution. the fact many hotels aren't taking the same precautions means it is up to us. >> with so much virus out there now, you simply are note going to be able to get away with behaviors that you may have before. >> for the latest updates on the coronavirus vaccine, download the abc 7 news app. you can enable push alerts for developments as they happen. and a reminder tonight a special edition of "20/20," the shot, race for the vaccine, a look at the safety, access and timing of the vaccine.

sze about how long it could take to vaccinate everyone in the first group. >> in the first phase, i'll be happy if we get it by the end of this calendar year. i probably wouldn't have been as optimistic before, but we heard that we'll be getting moderna vaccine as well, coming through a different route am nevertheless, we should get that, something like 25,000 to ucsf alone by the end of the year. >> oh, okay. that's a lot more than the pfizer right now. that's great news for you. a question on facebook, wants to know should administrative health care workers get the vaccine after all the health care workers get it? >> so i think we're thinking about the frontline of the frontline and if the administrative health care worker is near the emergency room, the intensive care unit and involved in that administration, that person

would be included in that site. so it's not really based on who you are, like a clinician, a doctor, a nurse, et cetera, it's based on how often you have prolonged contact with someone who might have covid, so it might be the janitorial staff, it might be the transport person. and that equity is really important. >> oh, okay. that's interesting. so it's exposure risk not necessarily the job category. >> yes. >> is that just for ucsf or just for california or is that the cdc guidance? >> i think the cdc didn't really specify but i know that's the way we've been thinking about it here. i mean, it's implied in the way the tiers have worked out. i know that for sure ucsf is being very equitable about it. that is really heartening for me to know. i would much rather forgo my own vaccine to make sure that somebody else who is at higher risk than myself would get it in front of me.

>> do you know when you might get it? >> i'm hoping, i'm crossing my fingers, for the next week or two. >> okay, okay. have they given you some guidance or advice based on with regard to getting that vaccination, like for example, you might suffer side ex effects so plan on a day of doing nothing. what have they told you. >> it's interesting how that aspect is being worked out operationally. so any one site no more than one-third will be immunized at one time and that's exactly for the reason like you mentioned, kristen. it will be because you don't want everyone calling in sick at the same time in case they have low grade fevers or muscle aches or feel like they have a lot of inflammation going on. >> now dr. chin-hong wanted to emphasize if you experience side effects they are likely to only

check this out. towering king tides slammed into parts of the coast here in the bay area. abc 7 news captured some of the big waves in pacifica and another round is possible

tomorrow. king tides happen when the sun, moon and earth align and the moon is in its closest position to earth. gosh, water, water everywhere even in the forecast, larry. >> yes, and drew looks so excited talking about the rain earlier in the tease. wow, somebody is pumped about this. >> i mean, how could you not be? it's been such a dry start to our water year. and finally this week we got some beneficial rain and then more rain is on the way on wednesday. tonight, though, we already have some changes in our sky. live doppler 7 along with satellite, we had clear skies, a lot of sunshine for much of our monday. now we're beginning to see some clouds move back on in especially in the north bay right now and tonight we'll see the clouds just continue to increase from north to south. there is that high surf advisory still in effect for the next couple of minutes. it will expire at 7:00 p.m. tonight. we're still tracking an increased ocean current, wave heights right now 11 to 15 feet.

the waves will continue to calm down overnight tonight once that high surf advisory does expire. we still have a coastal flood advisory for the king tides. the king tides, our highest all year. they occur in the winter. you can see our high tide tomorrow shortly after 11:00 a.m. that's when we could see localized flooding along the coastline. numbers up there right now, we're gradually cooling off into the 40s and low 50s. 53 right now the current temperature in oakland. already down to 48 in santa rosa and san mateo. 51 in fremont. livermore down to 48 degrees. so tonight we will continue to see the clouds on the increase. so we'll call it a mostly cloudy night on the way. temperatures will get chilly. very similar to last night in the mid-30s to mid-40s across the region. future weather as we go hour by hour tomorrow not nearly as bright of a day. we'll call it partly sunny. a warm front moves through here and you can see at about 3:00,

4:00 in the afternoon from ukiah and points to the north it is trying to bring a light shower. i really think that most areas will remain dry, but that warm front will certainly increase the cloud cover over the next 24 hours. get you near tuesday, temperatures very december-like out there. mid-50s to lower 60s by the afternoon and, again, partly sunny skies on the menu. those clouds are ahead of the storm we're tracking moving in here on wednesday which will linger into thursday. rain will spread from north to south very similar to how the storm behaved last weekend. heaviest rain will occur overnight into thursday morning. right now rainfall estimates about a quarter to three-quarters of an inch of rain for most of us. pretty decent soaking. we'll get you into wednesday. wednesday midday showers, very light, very is notty in the north bay. it's not until after sunset on wednesday that we'll track the cold front, begin to move in first in the north bay by about

10:00 p.m. at night. then in the early morning hours of thursday, that front will move to the south and by that time, 2:00 a.m., it's in the heart of the bay area. and then it will continue its trek to the south bay about 4:00 early thursday morning. so in terms of total rainfall again highest totals likely in the north bay, but i think a pretty good soaking for many of us. a quarter to three-quarters of an inch of rain. i wouldn't be surprised if we see a couple spots get close to an inch of wet weather out of the next storm system. we're also tracking snow again coming to the sierra. we had some snow last weekend. more snow coming on wednesday. so a winter storm watch is in effect beginning at 7:00 p.m. on wednesday lasting through 10:00 a.m. on thursday. above 5,500 feet could see 6 to 9 inches of snow, our highest peaks could see up to 16 inches of fresh snow. so back at home here is the accuweather seven-day forecast. it's all about the increasing clouds. partly sunny skies. wednesday rain gets here at night. heaviest overnight into early

thursday morning. so it's wet thursday. then once the storm exits you can find brighter, drier skies and even warming up over the week. saturday and sunday temperatures in the upper 50s to lower 60s. >> hey, drew, remember when i called you during the 7:00 or during the sunday night show and i called you a weather geek? >> yeah this is why. >> i appreciate you. unlike larry does. >> i didn't say i didn't appreciate him. >> larry loves me. >> yes. >> larry loves my weather forecast. >> thank you, thank you. dion is trying to divide us. not going to happen. >> no, never. >> it's been about a year since coronavirus first surfaced. i know it feels like ten years, but it's been about a year. it's been all about the race for a vaccine since then. as part of this week's dedicated coverage to the topic, see what it took to get us

for people with heart failure taking entresto, it may lead to a world of possibilities. entresto helped people stay alive and out of the hospital. don't take entresto if pregnant; it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren, or if you've had angioedema with an ace or arb. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high blood potassium. ask your doctor about entresto.

topping today's headlines

the largest vaccination campaign in u.s. history is under way. many health care workers across the country got some of the first shots today. the nation is also marking the 300,000th death in the pandemic. in california we set another record for covid-19 hospitalizations, heading in the wrong direction. more than 13,600 patients. another record in the icu, nearly 3,000 patients. santa clara county announced a change to the length of quarantine time for people who have traveled or been exposed to the coronavirus. it was 14 days. now it's 10. >> however, because somebody can still get sick as far out as 14 days after their last exposure we still recommend that everyone monitor themselves for symptoms through the full 14 days from the last time they were exposed or from when they returned from traveling. >> this alliance with the same guidelines from the cdc and california department of public health. now we're at a crucial point in the covid-19 pandemic now that a vaccine is finally in

use. >> abc 7 news is dedicating this entire week to what you need to know right now about the vaccine. in fact, we have our own vaccine team and they'll answer your questions every day. abc 7 news reporter kate larsen has a look at the latest on all four vaccines on trial in the u.s., the importance of double doses because you do need two, and the expedited trial time line. >> reporter: herculean efforts by scientists and physicians around the world have resulted in more than 50 experimental covid vaccines in global clinical trials. the focus in the u.s. thus far on the big four -- pfizer, moderna, astrazeneca and johnson & johnson. images of people in the uk receiving pfizer's vaccine, the first clinically authorized fully tested covid vaccine, broadcast around the world to much celebration. three days later the food and drug administration granted pfizer emergency use authorization for its vaccine in the u.s. and now americans are getting vaccinated and on thursday the

fda will consider moderna's vaccine for emergency use. if granted the first doses could be administered by christmas. >> this is historic. this is an historic moment in the history of public health, an historic moment in medicine. >> reporter: hopes have been high for astrazeneca which is easier to store. but several communication missteps surrounding astrazeneca's safety and efficacy data have damaged relationships with u.s. federal regulators. trials, though, are ongoing in san francisco and oakland. johnson and johnson's vaccine is very promising. it's unique in it's just one dose for adults. like astrazeneca it's easy to store and inexpensive. johnson & johnson is wrapping up trials at stanford and the va. ucsf epidemiologist dr. george rutherford expects promising data early next year. >> the good news from johnson &

johnson they've increased their trial up to 40,000 people. you don't do that unless you're expecting a large affect. >> reporter: astrazeneca's efficacy varies depending on dosage but overall data shows it's 70% effective. ucsf infectious disease specialist dr. chin-hong proves it was 50%. >> these are amazing vaccines. you pass the test. >> reporter: for context the measles vaccine and gold standard is 97% effective after two doses. flu vaccine efficacies vary season to season but on average the past ten years flu vaccines have been about 44% effective. >> right now 60% of americans say they will get the vaccine, but we need it to be 70%. hopefully that number will increase. >> eporter: pfizer, moderna and

astrazeneca require two doses. pfizer is 52% after the first dose. why is it so important to follow one a second dose? >> if you have low levels of protection there's a theoretical risk of getting resistance in the entire population of covid. the second reason you may get a response after the first dose but we don't know how long or how durable that response is. the second dose is kind of like an insurance policy that you'll be protected for multiple years. >> it only took two months to develop a vaccine and get it into clinical trials. >> reporter: an epidemiologist with san francisco's department of public health and principle investigator for san francisco's phase three astrazeneca trial. >> there aren't any shortcuts. the reason it was so quick is that the technology for making the vaccines was already

available because it was being used to create vaccines against other infectious diseases. >> reporter: there's overlap between the different trial phases which compresses the time line and biotech companies and governments manufactured and bought vaccine product before knowing if it all actually worked. >> so that if a vaccine is found to be effective you can actually roll it out immediately. normally you wait until after you show that it's effective. then you apply to fda for license and then start manufacturing a vaccine. >> because it cost as lot of money to make this stuff. >> reporter: around the world china has candidates that are expected to ship globally. their sinopharm is 86%. russia is now reportedly struggling to manufacture the two shot vaccine. kate larsen, abc 7 news. >> all this week we'll be bringing you in-depth coverage

the temporary disruption of service. we do not have any further information to provide at this time. >> i just think they're in a disconnect from local, washington and regional. i don't think they know what's going on. >> reporter: the cliff house began as a roadside attraction in 1863 and changed with time. it even burned down shortly after the 1906 earthquake. it has witnessed shipwrecks and glamour. the 130 pictures here testify to a century's worth of who's who for whom the cliff house was a place to be. >> all these pictures are all autographed. it's a huge collection. >> reporter: now more interesting relics. the family might put everything in storage or auction it off. >> i hate to see it end like ths but it's the way it's probably going to go. >> reporter: the last 47 years now another footnote in the history of this grand iconic structure. at the cliff house in san francisco, wayne freedman, abc 7
