drafts guideline group says california set those dates because cvs was slow to organize. >> there has also been chaos. people at highest risk aren't getting vaccinated first, and it basically invalidates the tier system or you have to wait for the tier system, which means everybody else who could be getting vaccinated isn't because you're waiting on walgreens and cvs. >> reporter: if cvs and walgreens can't schedule vaccines for long-term care vaccines, they should turn the process over to local health departments. new at 6:00, health officials want to step up contact tracing efforts. last summer the county was seeing 20 to 30 new coronavirus every day. now the i aecting ten saontactracing has becom.theoun.

not yet complete, it holds the promise of changing the vaccine landscape with a single dose. really huge here. dan ashley explains this could potentially lead to the vaccines roll-out in a matter of weeks. >> as concern grows over the slow pace of covid vaccinations in the united states, there is hope that a new option could help turn the tide. the vaccine from johnson & johnson would be the first to be given in a single shot without requiring a booster. it's been in clinical trial at sites across the country, including stanford and researchers say they have been given word to lock the data they have gathered to this point so the company can quickly begin the review process. >> they will review the data in an unblinded fashion and see if the medication looks effective. >> dr. phillip grant has been leading the trial at stanford. he believes an announcement from johnson & johnson could come early next month. >> then at that point they will be turning in their application, and then with similar timing we

may see if it works an approval by, i'd say, mid to late february. >> while dr. grant cautioning the final data isn't in yet, earlier phase two results have been described as promising and earlier this week, dr. anthony fauci says he believes that vaccines from johnson & johnson and astrazeneca will reach review in a matter of weeks. the impact could be significant. the johnson & johnson vaccine does not require any special deep cold refrigeration and experts say the single dose could make it easier to distribute. >> it is easier to say we have the supply here, we can give it to you. versus we have the supply here, what will be here in three weeks. it makes that management much more straightforward. >> johnson & johnson used a similar platform to fight a recent ebola vaccine in africa, something like a four wheel

drive of vaccines. now the hope is it will help drive down surging infections from covid-19. dan ashley, abc 7 news. researchers say the different technologies used to create the johnson & johnson vaccine, along with the pfizer and moderna drugs are both very flexible. that can become flexible if the virus continues to mutate to the point where it will be have to be tweaked. the u.s. will join the world health organization's efforts to fight covid-19. and that is a reversal from former president trump's plan to withdraw from the international aid group. >> when you are dealing with a global pandemic, you have to have an international connectivity. and for us to not be in the w.h.o. was very disconcerting to everybody, including the health officials here in the united states. >> dr. fauci is meeting with president biden today to brief him on the doprogress of the

vaccine's roll-out. biden promise to roll out 100 million vaccines is doable. abc 7 is monitoring the covid vaccine roll-out in california with our vaccine tracker. that shows you when you might be able to get the vaccine in our state. find it on our home page. now unemployment claims have dipped, but they still remain high as the pandemic grips the nation. the u.s. labor department reports another 900,000 people filed for unemployment benefits last week. 25,000 fewer than forecasted. more than five million people are continuing to receive state unemployment benefits down about 127,000 from the revised numbers from the prior week. the new york stock exchange as trading gets underway this morning, we are down about 15 points. there was a day of powerful performances and speeches, but it was a young poet who stole the show at president biden's inauguration. >> for there was always light if

ange angelo. >> i reviewed my poemro bill clinton's inauguration on "the pulse of morning." if you haven't seen it or red that ever or in a few years, it's totally worth your time to look back at it again because that is another stunning piece of work. >> so moving. >> uh-huh. >> poetry is back, y'all. >> it never left. >> i love it. >> you're right. >> yes. next generation stepping up. 22 years old. future bright, like it. all right. our future is bright this morning, but then it gets dim and wet and wetter and the possibility of some snow. it's all in our fore cast here n the bay area. roll out the highlights. increasing clouds today. our last dry and mild day. showers tonight through tomorrow with some gropple. that's a hybrid of hail and snow. that's how cold it is going to

get. rain and snow possible sunday and our heaviest rain sunday. it is a two. yep, we're getting that two we have all been hoping for. at least it's in the forecast now. move ahead to midnight. you can see the rain, the showers. light green, yellow is moderate. and then watch as it moves across all of our neighborhoods. by 5:00 when we start the morning commute, it is moving to the east bay valleys. everybody will have slippery conditions by the end of the commute. but colder air comes in around noon. that's when we have our best chance of some gropple there because the showers that come in during the evening hours, the late evening hours up until midnight, see how they're few and far between land and much more cceea easaturday, our last completely dry day. here is a look at our rain fall. and you can see less than a tenth of an inch. maybe a quarter of an inch after the commute ends. but what's more impressive is reset it for sunday and we will get up half an inch possibly by tuesday and then triple that by

the time wednesday and thursday roll around. so this could be finally the system we he been looking for. several feet of snow out of this system up in the sierra. so a one for tomorrow, a one sunday, monday and tuesday. but the steadiest and the heaviest rain will start tuesday night and last through thursday morning. so speaking of snow, i want to turn it over to sue now. she has our toyota tahoe report. >> right now it is a pretty easy drive to get up there as you might imagine. and the bases are dwindling. so it will be nice to actually get some more snow. there you can see it is about a three hour and six minute drive from 80 to 89 into alpine. no chains required on any of the sierra freeways at this moment. hopefully by this time next week we'll have a different story for you. three hours and 15 minutes via

highway 50 to heavenly. a six inch base total at the higher elevations. as we take you to 80 to sugar bowl, on 80 at least, a two hour and just about 45 minute drive. 50 sierra tahoe just about three hours. if you are driving to kirkwood this morning on highway 88, no chains of course and better snow conditions next week. we'll be back with the next toyota tahoe report. >> thank you, sue. happening today, scott peterson is looking at the possibility of his murder conviction getting overturned. he is expected to appear in court today remotely from sanguine ton. it is a status on the retrial. peterson was convicted of 2004 of killing his pregnant wife lacy and their unborn son. last august,er errors were made during jury selection for his original murder trial. a park in the east bay once named in honor of president andrew jackson is getting a new

>> the men were blah except for this man. senator bernie sanders going viral. people on social media had a ball like this saying he looked like he was going to the post office because what's up with that manila envelope. he wore mittens. now we're learning more about those. a vermont teacher made them and gave them to him two years ago. he wore them throughout the campaign trail. they're made from repurposed wool sweaters and recycled plastic bottles. and, no, you can't buy them because she stopped making them. that moment has already inspired this bernie sanders bobblehead. the national bobblehead hall of fame created their latest product real fast. as you can see, it is a figure of senator sanders on the folding chair. i'm sure they're making it now. the $25 bobblehead is expected to go on sale in may. >> reggie, i have an update for
