next at 5:00, dissatisfaction over vaccine distribution. the governor's goal is falling short. san francisco may not have enough doses for its new vaccination sites and multiple bay area counties are now stopping their use of the moderna vaccine. plus the bay area biontech ceo says he has a better way to get vaccines where they need to go. all people have to do is listen. oakland now days from temporarily closing fire stations just as heat and high winds pick up. and the napa tire shop where authorities say they discovered an arsenal of weapons. the owner is arrested, but his family insisting they have the wrong guy. and we begin with the state

nearing a new milestone in the fight against covid-19. california has now recorded nearly 3 million coronavirus cases. that's roughly 8% of the state's population. it comes as the state tries to smooth out the rocky rollout of vaccines, something the governor is trying to put a positive spin on. he tweeted today that california is h has now administered more vaccines than any other state, trying to get them to the ones most vulnerable. >> thank you for joining us. more than 3 million doses of the covid vaccine have been shipped to health departments across the state. but the backlog is still in pretty bad shape. stephanie sierra is tracking it live fouls tonight. stephanie? >> reporter: there are still 29 million doses waiting in freezers around the state. today the governor was not very

transparent about it. the governor announced today that california has now administered more vaccines than any other state, getting 40% of our doses out and into the arms of our health care workers and the most vulnerable. but the tweet is a bit misleading. the reality is california has received more vaccine doses than any other state, so it's expected we administer the most. >> i want californians to know it's like a flywheel. we're making progress. we're moving with deliberative speed. >> reporter: what's not expected is why the state continues to fly behind most of the country. abc7's analysis of cbc data shows california ranks 45th behind wisconsin, north carolina, virginia, mississippi and nevada. when it comes to the number of vaccine doses administered per 100,000 people. >> the facts are the facts. there is a large number of vaccines that have yet to be put in the arms of nursing home staff and residents. >> reporter: mike wasserman sits

on the vaccine committee. >> reporter: from your perspective, what do you think is driving the backlog now? >> looking at the data and looking at the numbers that a lot of outstanding vaccines that are still not being used are vaccines that were meant for those high-risk people. and they haven't gotten to them. >> reporter: according to data released by cvs and analyzed by abc7, only 5% of assisted living and other long term care facilities have received the first dose. that leaves more than 13,000 other vulnerable high-risk communities across the state that have yet to be vaccinated through cvs, including 17 skilled nursing facilities. a huge kink in the backlog. >> i don't think the state has a lot of clarity at this moment in terms of how much vaccine they're getting from the federal government. >> reporter: it raises the question, if we keep up the current pace, could some of the 1.9 million doses stuck waiting in freezers go to waste?

>> i don't believe so, stephanie. both pfizer and moderna, once it's off the production line, the vaccine has a six-month life in frozen stage. >> he says the real problem arrives around finding the storage that has the specific frozen requirements for moderna and pfizer doses. that could be contributing to the backlog. >> that's hard to do, getting the necessary freezers and the processes for these temperature requirements are not immediate. those take time. >> the governor said the state would administer 1 million vaccines within 10 days, and that period ended last night. according to our vaccine tracker, the goal fell more than 282,000 doses short. live in the newsroom, stephanie ciera. >> we know the governor is pushing for the allocated doses to be released to the states

that need them. is that contributing to the backlog here? >> yes, that is what we're hearing. the state doesn't know how much additional vaccine doses will be available, and that's impacting the vaccination sites here in san francisco. several sites, in fact, expected at city college, as well as market and bay view. they were set to open tomorrow, but it all depends on having enough doses from the state. we reached out to get an update on that but have yet to hear back. one lot of the moderna covid-19 vaccines is just one line to keep in mind. alameda county health says community providers received doses and says there are no reports of unusual responses. contra costa county has administers its not

doses. san francisco has many doses. they recommend health care providers stop using vaccine from that batch. meanwhile, a new variant of covid-19 has been discovered in santa clara county. it is linked to an employee who wore an inflatable christmas costume to the bay in san jose. now it's hoping its new software can speed up vaccine distribution. the ceo of color health spoke exclusively to liz pena. >> sacramento has one of the highest covid-19 rates. behind the test sites is color health. what's different about test

sites like this one? >> our role is an end-to-end system. we provide the registration, other logistics. >> if processed, boot. their software and lab results are showing covid cases surging in underprivileged communities across the state. marin county is also used in this company for multiple testing. iraqi said that's one of the strategies for vaccination. >> i'm glad we're given half the vaccine sites. that will serve half the population. the other half. >> in am ways an information problem. one is kind of getting to a

unified software structure that is simple. >> the latest california data shows more than 2 million vaccines have been administered throughout the states. >> we force this infrastructure which i think will be important for the next generation as we really try to solve public health in a real way in the u.s. >> in san francisco, luis pena, abc7 news. we're posting updates on our vaccine tracker website. a teenage boy was swept into the ocean on san mateo. calfire says an adult and the boy were standing on the beach and swept into the water

one calfire unit tweeted has meteorologist drew tuma is here. i can't how wet it is. >> we've had very wet conditions on this holiday. we've seen wind gusts over our peaks of 7 that wind is transferring down, even to the coast. we have that wind advisory in effect until the bay area, and

now ily. stronger wind gusts are arriving overnight tonight. >> we'll show them to you in our f. because a because of the coronavirus pandemic. abc7 news laura anthony is on the story. >> the odd january weather complete with high winds and warm temperatures serves as an ominous reminder that fire danger is now a year-round worry. >> it's 75 degrees out, it's dry as a desert and the winds are actually ripping, and this is the week they decided to close 15% of oakland's fire engines? if this wasn't something that was going to get oaklanders killed and my members killed, i would say it's some kind of joke. >> if we don't make hard decisions now, we will face heartbreaking decisions later. >> facing a projected $62 million deficit, last month

oakland's top...... while there will be no immediate layoffs, the city will close three of its 25 fire stations on a rotating basis. with or without these windy and dangerous conditions, fighting fires is just a small fraction of what oakland firefighters do it is especially irresponsible at this time when the pandemic is increasing the need for medical calls, it i know somebody made some decisions on city planning. >> even more reductions to city services are likely in the

months to come. in oakland, laura anthony, abc7 news. still ahead, the cache of weapons found in napa. the owner charged says there is another side to the story. a look at how the bay area is
