in which you start to see efficacy anywhere from seven to ten days following the first and only shot. >> the company says 100 million doses by the end of june if the fda authorizes johnson & johnson to start distribution by the end of this month. we are on vaccine watch because this is a big part of building a better bay area. today we sent reporters out across the bay area to get a progress check on how distribution is going, and we're going to begin in the east bay with abc7 reporter leslie brinkley. >> this is fun. i didn't know we're going to have so much fun. >> reporter: this 84-year-old was thrilled to score a vaccine at the soft opening of this new vaccine site at the golden fields race park in albany. it's huge with a maze of cones to navigate. >> our goal here is to work out some of the kinks, figure out where we can be more efficient and really drive capacity so that as we open up tomorrow and through the weekend, we can really get as much vaccine out there as possible. >> it's a race against time with

these variants out there. and we really need to accelerate the number of people vaccinated. >> reporter: the hope is this will become a long-term vaccination site going forward. the priority is seniors over 75. also, a $15 ride service to this golden gate fields site will be provided to those disabled seniors who otherwise have no way to get here. contra costa county is also prioritizing seniors and second doses. >> we're in the part of the roll-out where we're now having to dedicate more of our supply to second doses. we are really carefully trying to balance the appointments for second doses to first and first doses to make sure we don't have to cancel appointments. we're now getting a little more clarity about how much vaccine we are expected to receive week to week. we're now getting pretty good projections about three weeks ahead. >> reporter: contra costa county says they've been told supplies of vaccines will increase 15 to

20% by the end of the month, and they made this bold projection. >> in our county of slightly over a million people, most people will have a vaccine by independence day. >> the sooner we can get more people doing it, the sooner we'll get back to some kind of normalcy. >> reporter: in the east bay, i'm leslie brinkley, abc7 news. . san francisco's newest mass vaccination site officially opens tomorrow at moscone center. health care workers and city residents 65 and older will be the first to receive the shots. the goal is to eventually give up to 10,000 shots a day, which of course depends on the supply san francisco gets from the state. in the bay area's largest county, a major shift is under way that could m tt vaccine app. santa clara county calls it a no wrong door policy. abc7 news reporter david louie explains how it works. >> reporter: death certificates make it clear who are the most vulnerable to covid-19. in santa clara county, out of nearly 1500 deaths so far, more

than 80% have been persons 65 or older. that's why the county has simplified where people should get vaccinated regardless of where they get their care. >> everyone who lives in our county who is age 65 years or older can get vaccinated. there is no wrong door. you can come to any of the health systems. >> reporter: dr. sarah cody said enough of the chaotic situation with almost daily changes in state guidelines. enough of canceled appointments because a supplier didn't get an adequate supply. it estimates vaccines for an estimated two million people. >> going forward, we must and we can prevent as many of these deaths as we collectively are able. >> reporter: the county says it has about two to three weeks' supply of vaccine on hand, and it has been assured of a 20% increase by state and federal agencies. the job ahead is formidable. only 37% of those 75 plus and

only 28% of those 65 plus have been vaccinated so far. >> 6,000 doses delivered daily monday through friday, and about a thousand doses delivered on saturday and sunday, and we'd like to expand to about 15,000. >> reporter: another priority are residents living in areas with high infection rates such as east san jose, where the death rate in five zip codes is more than double the rate in all of santa clara county. elected officials say the state needs to target these areas. >> the policy may look equitable, but not everyone has access to that same door. >> reporter: health care workers who work in santa clara county are also on the priority list even if they live in another county. the county's website to schedule an appointment is sccfreevax.org. david louie, abc7 news. statewide, about 62% of vaccine doses delivered to california have now been administered. we're monitoring progress

available with our tracker on abc7news.com. today alameda county became the second bay area county to record more than one thousand deaths from coronavirus. santa clara county was the first and now has reported more than 1500 total deaths. there is some good news, though. every day we put the number of new local cases on to the chart. you can see the individual blue bars are getting shorter. that means fewer case, and the yellow line which represents rolling average is trending lower, also good news. building a better bay area especially during a pandemic means focusing on five key areas here at abc7 news. health is one of them. the economy another. but one major one is education. we told you yesterday that san francisco is suing its own school district to get kids back into class in person. abc7 news reporter lyanne melendez followed up on that story today with a closer look at who will finally give permission to reopen. >> reporter: sunset elementary was inspected by the san francisco department of public health to make se a safety protocols were in place.

the president of the school board toured sunset today. >> he gave us an plet and ready go as far as what has been recommended. >> reporter: here is where the 85 san francisco public elementary schools and their early education sites are in the process. six sites have been cleared to reopen. 17 more are expected to pass inspection in the next three to four weeks. and the remaining sites will be inspected between march 22 and april 19th. once they reopen, the school district will put its so-called core safety strategy in place. they will maintain social distancing, keep cohorts of 14 students and manage circulation. >> the groups of students, families and parents, and teachers are all moving across and through the site in an orderly and organized predictable fashion. >> reporter: all of those guidelines you heard were never given or suggested by the federal government. in fact only now with this new administration is the cdc finally putting out guidance on

how to reopen schools safely. >> this is the piece that is the most unfortunate is every school district has been left to their own devices. we've had to scramble and work with our city departments to really create the safest conditions. >> the more we learn about the federal response to this pandemic, the more we realize that there is a lot of catching up to do. >> reporter: dr. nelson believes many of the marin county public schools, including high schools now have most or all of the protocols in place to reopen safely. still, the consensus among many doctors and officials is that schools could have reopened earlier had those federal guidelines been in place. lyanne melendez, abc7 news. an olympian gets his face on a wheaties box more than 50 years after he won his medal. it's local athlete activist tommy jones, and our exclusive interview with him is next. plus -- >> they can be anything they

beyond the image, beyond the statue, and really get to know smith through his words, his truth. >> reporter: now retired in the atlanta area, the former educator can draw parallels between what he endured in 1968 and the movement that is currently before us. smith believes, as he did back then, that america's best days are yet to come. >> be positive in what you do. proclaim an attitude of not giving up, and procure the feeling of i am somebody. and offer suggestions around conversation so you will be a part of society. >> reporter: an olympic icon still taking a stand after all these years. in san jose, chris nguyen, abc7 news. >> you can tell how much that means to him, and deservedly so. well, this is black history month, and abc7 news is celebrating the people in our community who are working to building a better bay area by making black history right now. abc7 news anchor kumasi aaron shows you how shamann walton is

serving the community in a new role. >> it's unanimous. the gavel is yours, president walton. congratulations. >> reporter: this was the moment shamann walton became black history, the first black man elected president of san francisco's board of supervisors. >> as the first black man to serve in this role, i really think what it does for the young people that i worked with over the years and are isolated, disenfranchised communities, as you look at the small black population that we have left, i think it really sets a tone for our young people to understand and know that they can be anything they want and serve in any role and leadership as a black man in this city. >> reporter: born in san francisco, walton grew up in public housing in bayview and potrero hill. he now represents that area as district 10 supervisor. in 2020, walton gained national attention for introducing the karen act, which makes racially biased 911 calls illegal.

he also established the advisory committee that is looking into reparations for black san franciscans. >> we are the first city to have true reparation laws on the book, and we're going get this done working together. >> reporter: while the issues facing the black community aren't new, walton says being in the position to make change is. >> i was elected to do a job, set the things we were going to fight for, equity and social justice, making sure there are low income communities, black populations have opportunity to thrive. so once you get in that role, you can't be scared to do your job. you have to be vocal and focus on the things you say you're going to do, and work with the people to help get it done. i think we've been fortunate to be blessed to be in this role and we've had opportunity to make the change that we say we're going fight for. it's not always easy, but i think if you stand on the side of right and you do the things that you say you're going to do, things turn out to work to the

better. >> reporter: kumasi aaron, abc7 news. >> abc7 is celebrating black history month, and you can find all of our content through the abc7 news app as well as our social media pages or download the abc7 bay area app available for roku and other devices as well. a beautiful day by the bay, and there are more like this on the way. spencer probably won't rhyme his weather forecast, although you never know. he might. either way, it's worth sticking either way, it's worth sticking around for. great day on the lake! it is. lunch is cookin'! and i saved a bunch of money on my boat insurance with geico. fellas, can it get any better than this? whoa! my old hairstyle grew back.

did the recent rain make a difference in the drought? the short answer is yes. today's newly released drought map is on the left with last week's on the right. side by side, you can see the drought is less intense and the colors lighter in parts of california. but let's compare to last year. the difference is obvious. our drought conditions are much worse now than they were last year. so let's get to spencer and find out if we think any wet weather is going to be coming along, dan. >> we've gotten some the last few couple of weeks or so, which is nice, spencer. but we need a lot more. >> no, we need a lot more. you're right. we got enough to dampen our fuels as we refer to them. that diminishes the risk of fire as it remains dry, but we still remain at a rather significant drought. here is a look at the satellite radar looping image last 12 hours. you can see high pressure building in. so we have sunny days coming up.

a long dry spell coming our way. the circulation around that area of high pressure is bringing our winds over the hills down out of the north-northeast and offshore flow. so the down sloping winds will be warming up and contributing to a warming trend that actually started today, but it will be in high gear over the weekend. right now looking at clear skies over the bay area. looking down from the east bay hills camera. 53 degrees in san francisco and in mountain view. 57 in oakland. san jose 55. 62 in gilroy, and 50 at half moon bay. and here is a view of the golden gate where conditions are dry and traffic is moving swiftly. 53 degrees right now north of san francisco. mid-50s at napa, fairfield, concord and livermore. and the view from the exploratorium camera looking back at the cityscape under mostly clear skies. these are the forecast feature, chilly and clear again overnight. warmer days lie ahead tomorrow through sunday. and then it will be cloudier and cooler early next week. but not looking at much of a chance of rain.

overnight, i'm showing you how clear the skies are going to be. although there will be fog developing in the central valley. some could spill through the carquinez strait and the delta. low temperatures will drop into the mid- to upper 30s in the inland valleys. upper 30s to low 40s elsewhere. and then tomorrow look for sunny skies and the warming continues. high temperatures on the coast will be near 60. we'll see mid-60s around the bay shoreline and upper 60s inland. and as we look ahead to speaking how dry it's going to be, this is our future radar taking us through valentine's day through february 14th. look at that. no rain coming directly to the bay area. there will be disturbs, little weather disturbances going to our north and patches of rain to the south. but nothing seems to be working its way into the bay area over the next seven days. here is our accuweather seven-day forecast. now the next three days, we're going to have some wonderful february warmth. enjoy the clear skies and the

mild weather, but going into early next week, we'll see an increase in clouds. and you would think maybe we can squeeze a little rain out of that, but it doesn't appear likely. so breezy and cooler with increasing clouds on monday. partly cloudy again on tuesday. the day that we have our best chance for a slight chance of rain is next wednesday. and then next thursday, clouds will linger. but just doesn't look like we're going to have any significant rainfall coming our way for at least the next seven days, perhaps even longer. but it will be a nice weekend. >> well, i guess we'll enjoy that then. thank you, spencer. we're lucky california has such good weather. to earthquakes. in tonight's episode of our series "california dreaming," see how the technology in our cell phones is being used to develop a faster, more accurate advanced warning system. i'm michael finney with a warning about booking travel during

♪ our special series "california dreaming" takes a

closer look at the issues threatening the california dream, and we're introducing you to the people finding solutions to these problems. it's a special collaboration with our sister stations in los angeles and the central valley. >> today's focus earthquakes. next week marks the 50th anniversary of the magnitude 6.5 sylmar quake, a real turning point in building codes. >> it sure was. the put in place since the loma prieta and the northridge earthquake can now give us seconds to prepare. >> i used to think earthquakes were so much fun as a child because you would kind of roll. and it was ooh. this was not exciting. this '94 northridge quake was scary. >> reporter: at 4:31 this morning, their world came crashing down. the top floors of the three-story northridge apartments on reseda boulevard collapsed.

>> anyone who lives in california, pretty much wherever you are, we are in earthquake country. these earthquakes, they're like waves rippling in a pond. it doesn't start shaking everywhere all at once. the earthquake starts and the waves move out away from the source. so we can detect the earthquake as it happens, and warn people that they're about to feel shaking. >> we are announcing the nation's first comprehensive early alert system for earthquakes. >> and at that point, the my shake app was released to the public. and we were able to create these alerts and send them to anyone who downloaded the app. so the idea is that we have a network of sensors out in places near the faults, and we use those stations to detect the earthquakes as soon as they happen. we can then provide a warning to people that they're about to feel shaking. >> earthquake, drop, cover, hold on. shaking expected.

>> reporter: as soon as i hear earthquake, i can get under my table and drop, cover, and hold on. it doesn't take much time at all. but by doing that, i can help protect myself. >> the oakland a's -- >> we're having an earthquake. >> prepare yourselves! prepare yourselves! >> reporter: if the loma prieta earthquake happened again, we would be able to provide about 10 seconds of warning between when the shaking started and when the quake would reach oakland. the idea with giving people warning, even if it's just a few seconds is they can then take action to protect themselves. so if you can just duck, cover and hold on, then we've successfully done our job. so right now if you have an android, any android phone, you don't have to download an app to get an early alert. >> if you go into the location settings, you can see there is an earthquake alert setting page. when you tap on that, the

setting screen for earthquakes. if you want to practice what does an earthquake alert actually look at, tap on this button here and see the alert. [ alarm ] so that's the alert screen, and that's the message you receive if there is really strong shaking expected. android phones have these tiny accelerometers in them that can sense motion and shaking. so when a phone is plugged and stationary, it's monitoring for earthquake-like shaking. if it detects that, it can send out a message to the google earthquake detention server where the earthquake is happening. the little dots are detecting shaking. one of the advantages of using phones to detect earthquakes is that it can work everywhere around the world. >> we can certainly live with earthquakes in california. i think we've shown our resiliency in earthquakes that have struck in the past. we're better prepared than we were years ago. our infrastructure is much safer. the bridges are better. the roads are better. but we have to remember there are still bad buildings and things we can do to protect ourselves and to know what to do when the earthquake strikes.

>> california is where i was born and raised, and all my friends are here and my family is here. so i would not considered moving out of california. >> we'll take all the extra warning we can get. tomorrow we celebrate the california dream and all the reasons to be optimistic. change starts in california, and the rest of the nation follows. you can catch that episode tomorrow at 4:30 and 6:30 p.m., and on saturday, a 30-minute california dreaming special. that's at nine p.m. right here on abc7 news, or stream an extended version of it right now on our abc7 bay area connected tv app. download the free app on roku, fire tv, android tv or apple tv. as you know, when you go online, you see some amazing travel deals if you're willing to travel during this pandemic. however, there are risks, and we're not just talking about risks to your health here. 7 on your side's michael finney has been checking into this extensively, and he is live with

the story tonight. michael? >> reporter: dan, let's start by saying travel is discouraged in the bay area. so hitting the road is treacherous these days. not just because of the coronavirus, as you just said, but because of the potential missteps you can make when booking during these unsettled times. berkeley's cindy charles had just about had enough of staying home. >> in november, i was feeling very antsy and needed a break from this four walls of this room. >> reporter: the escape plan? a road trip to southern california. >> and so about the third week of november, i booked several places, including l.a. to see my son and my husband's son. and then winding our way up north, paso robles, arroyo grande, and ojai. >> reporter: all the reservations were made through airbnb. but then the pandemic really

took off. l.a. hospitals were overwhelmed. travel discouraged. >> i started cancelling the reservations, and everybody was cool about it, full refund. >> reporter: two airbnb hosts returned the entire cost of the stay, but one returned only the cleaning deposit, costing cindy about $850 for nothing. she checked back online and the host had followed his rules that she had agreed to. still, this is a pandemic. she asked me about a refund. i contacted airbnb and it responded saying there would be no tv interview and no refund. it said for all bookings after march 14th, the host's cancellation policy will apply as usual, and guests will not be able to cancel for covid-19 related extent waiting circumstances unless they are sick. and not just sick with covid,

but provably sick with covid. airbnb may require you to prove that you have been diagnosed with covid before a refund is issued. i reached out to the airbnb host we have not yet connected. the takeaway, as travel makes a comeback, it is more important than ever to read all policies and take screen shots or make copies. and dan, one final thing. with airbnb, you can now search by cancellation policies. that will keep this from happening to you. >> that's great to know, michael. thank you very much. excellent. a promise from the president. up next, how president biden is vowing to rebuild alliances around the world. >> from the being air, i think these are all very, very cool things that just remind me i'm doing exactly what i'm meant to be doing, what i'm supposed to be doing. >> that's grammy winning r&b musician and vallejo activity in h.e.r. she is performing at the super

the big nomination. ♪ >> reporter: grammy winning r&b superstar and vallejo native h.e.r. is already having a year and is just sinking into her first golden globe nomination for the song "fight for you" in "judas and the blacks messiah." >> the fact that i'm now nominated for a golden globe is incredible. i never would have imagined making something like this for something so major. i'm just happy to be a part of it. >> more and more talking about. you'ved will been nominated for five naacp image awards. also three graemes, you already won two grammys. >> right. >> but what's cool about i think this round of nominations is that it's a lot of them are for your song "i can't breathe" which came out this summer. ♪ for people that haven't seen the video, you also mentioned shawn monterrosa in your video who is

from vallejo, was killed last year. i think that struck a lot of people from your hometown. >> absolutely. you know, i think as an artist, it's my responsibility to use my platform to speak out against things, you know, against social injustices and things that i believe and stand for things that i believe in and talk about what's going on right now and eduate. i think music does a lot of things. it educates. it makes you want to fall in love. it makes you want to dance, but it also makes you want to take a stance and be a part of a movement. >> you have big news on top of big news. oh my goodness. it's the super bowl. that was some original music, and then i was like hold on, golden globes. so we had to adjust. ♪ >> h.e.r. will be singing "america the beautiful" at the super bowl. >> i'm here to be on such a big stage as a blessing. that's amazing. and to represent young black girls and let them know that they can do it too, and let them

know that i'm up there representing my people and representing everything that i believe in, everything i stand for, whether it's music or justice or just being a black woman. i'm going to try to deliver my version of "america the beautiful" and make it my own and have fun with it. >> jobina fortson, abc7 news. >> she sings great, doesn't she? she spoke with jobina for a long time. they had a great conversation. you can watch the full interview on our connective tv app on roku and other connected devices as well. let's turn to sports. a lot of people talking football for the weekend. but we still have local basketball to talk about. >> always. and larry beil is here with the latest on that. larry? >> you can call me him, unless somebody has taken that. i don't know. they call me a lot of things, actually. last thing the warriors can afford right now is another injury that is what they're dealing with tonight.

only nine players available, forced to play small ball in dallas. can steph and draymond help then cai'm morgan, and there's moreen at's nexto me than hiv. more love,... more adventure,... more community. but with my hiv treatment,... there's not more medicines in my pill. i talked to my doctor... and switched to... fewer medicines with dovato. prescription dovato is for some adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment or replacing their current hiv-1 regimen. with... just 2 medicines... in 1 pill,... dovato is as effective as a 3-drug regimen... to help you reach and stay undetectable. research shows people who take hiv treatment as prescribed... and get to and stay undetectable... can no longer transmit hiv through sex. don't take dovato if you're allergic to any of its ingredients... or if you take dofetilide. hepatitis b can become harder to treat while taking dovato. do not stop dovato without talking to your doctor,... as your hepatitis b may worsen or become life-threatening. serious or life-threatening side effects can occur, including... allergic reactions, lactic acid buildup, and liver problems. if you have a

rash and other symptoms of an allergic reaction,... stop taking dovato and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis b or c,... or if you are, may be, or plan to be pregnant. your doctor may prescribe a different medicine... than dovato if you plan to be pregnant or if pregnancy is confirmed during the first trimester. dovato may harm your unborn baby. use effective birth control... while taking dovato. most common side effects are headache, nausea,... diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness, and anxiety. so much goes... into who i am. hiv medicine is one part of it. ask your doctor about dovato—i did.

now abc7 sports with larry beil. >> good evening. the warriors keep getting smaller and smaller on top of the injuries to james wiseman and kevon looney, now james pascal, a sore knee. the game plan for steve kerr,

simple. get shorty, just like the movie. launch threes all night and hope. james wiseman, the big man with the south park sweatshirt, styling. draymond green throwing it down. take another look. with authority. haven't seen a lot of that from draymond this season. now if you play the mavs, i don't to stop luka doncic. good luck. lu luka's got 25 points. the mavs hit 15 threes in the first half. kelly oubre jr. on fire. he had 22 points in the first half. now has 34. tim hardaway jr., you hit a three, i hit a three. lots of score manage this game. look at the vision from draymond to hit steph. get the goggles on. love it. the warriors, a nice third quarter. curry returning the favor and draymond again. right now it's 119-101 undermanned and winning in the fourth quarter. all right. we can debate the merits of the nba pushing plans to actually play an all-star game in a

pandemic. frankly, it makes no sense. but steph curry does lead the voting among western conference votes. only behind two other players in total votes after the first round of fan voting. ex-warrior and current brooklyn nets star kevin durant leads everybody, 2.3 million votes. lebron james is close behind. all-star game starters will be announced february 18th with a game being planned for march 7th in atlanta. maybe another year before the giants actually sign a big money free agent, but giants bar just gave out his first three-year contract since he took over operations three years ago. he signed infielder tommy la stella. la stella split time between the a's and angels. he gets a three-year deal worth a total of $18.75 million. la stella, he is so versatile, can play all over the infield. a rare combination of power and discipline at the plate. >> i spent an unhealthy amount of time just staring his his

strikeout ratio from last year. that probably says more about me than him, although it does say a lot about him. >> san francisco is where i wanted to be. so i'm very relieved we were able to get it done. and the third year was important i felt like wherever i went, i wanted to be able to be there for a few years and be a part of something. >> maybe the giants will be in scottsdale soon. phoenix open usually coincide was the start of spring training. matthew neesmith, on the san franciscoth hole. usually a raucous crowd. obviously not today. sets up a tap-in birdie. he is the co-leader at 8 under 63. mash harbor four straight to independent on 18. webb simpson on 11 behind the tree there's. and this is into the drink. yikes. finished the day at 2 over par. not much you can do with that lie. oh, by the way, from the shameless plug department, we

will have the warriors and mavs saturday night here on abc7 at 5:30. shameless plug. him out. >> thanks, him. >> i don't know if that works for you, larry. >> we'll try it out for a while and see. coming up tonight on abc7, three episodes of celebrity wheel of fortune beginning at 8:00 p.m. and then stay with us for abc7 at 11:00. >> and then you can catch our newscast live and on demand through the abc7 bay area connected tv app. it's available for apple tv, android tv, amazon fire tv and roku. download the app now and start streaming. that is going to do it for this edition of abc7 news. thank you so much for joining us tonight. i'm ama daetz. >> and i'm dan ashley. for spencer christian and him and the entire abc7 news team, we appreciate your time. >> that guy. >> yeah. have a good night. we'll see you tonight at 11:00.
