stephanie, any insight? >> kristen, it may be another month before we notice reasonable increase in supply if johnson & johnson's vaccine is approved for emergency use. the governor says california's allotment is increasing modestly each week after president biden's promise to allocate an additional 20% to states. but it's certainly not enough. >> the supply is the is the issue. that's the constraint. >> reporter: the governor reinforcing the state's struggle to access vaccine doses from the federal government. >> the state of california will receive roughly the equivalent number of doses that we received a week ago, a little over one million. >> reporter: however, a majority of that shipment will be received for second doses. this means the state is really only getting enough to vaccinate 594,000 people per week. >> next week we anticipate a modest increase in the total

allocations. >> we've really missed an opportunity to fully engage to get all hands on deck to make sure that we're getting the vaccine to those with the greatest need. >> reporter: meanwhile, until today, levi's stadium and the oakland coliseum have sat vacant for nearly the past two months since pfizer's vaccine was approved for emergency use. >> top epidemiologists and health experts across the state criticize this should have happened months ago when we knew the vaccine was coming. so my question is why did it take this long? and if you had to do it all over again, what would you do differently? >> the vast majority of vaccinations are not done in sites like this. the overwhelming majority of the vaccinations are distributed thousands and thousands of smaller providers in very culturally competent settings and communities. >> reporter: we didn't get a straight answer. >> we could have done a better job starting off. >> reporter: dr. yvonne maldonado sits on the cdc's vaccine advisory committee.

she explains failed promises from the federal government is partially responsible. >> back last summer, we were told by operation warp speed and others that we were going to get three million doses of vaccine by december, and we never got them. we don't event have 300 million doses now. >> reporter: the governor says more specific details with the state's contract with both blue shield and kaiser permanente to launch a vaccination network will be released later this week along with race and ethnicity vaccination data, which we've been pushing for. live in the newsroom, stephanie sierra, abc7 news. >> we know cbs is launching limited vaccinations starting this week. did the governor give incite to how many doses california pharmacies will be receiving from the federal government? >> yes, 100,000 doses will be coming to california pharmacies out of the one million doses allotted nationwide. so certainly a very fraction to meet the demand serving the thousands of assisted and long-term care facilities across the state. >> stephanie, thank you. what officials hope will be

the largest mass vaccination site in the state is now open at levi's stadium in santa clara. individuals 65 years and older walked inside the stadium to be the first of some 500 people to receive the vaccine today. officials say the site could soon accommodate up to 15,000 appointments a day depending on the supply of the vaccine. santa clara's been hard hit by this pandemic than any other bay area county. >> we must work intentionally to be very sure that no one is left behind. we must redouble our efforts in those pockets of our community that we know are home to the highest rates of covid. >> health officials decided to make this a walk-up event because they believe it's easier to monitor those who just received the shot inside rather than have them sit in their cars. a new vaccination center opened in the north day today on the petaluma campus of santa rosa junior college. a second vaccination center opens tomorrow at the huerta gymnasium in windsor and a third

will open today at sonoma valley veterans hall. residents who are 70 and older are eligible, and you must have an appointment. we're monitoring the roll-out with our vaccine tracker. california has given out at least 66.5% of the more than 7 million doses that have been shipped to the stitt so far. you can track this information at abc7news.com. san francisco mayor london breed gave an update today on the city's response to the pandemic. soon teachers, grocery store workers, and police officers will be able to get vaccinated. abc7 news anchor liz kreutz joins us live now. liz, she also addressed the union's new immigrant to reopen schools. >> that's right, kristen, she did. she spoke for a long time about this agreement which we know requires all staff get vaccinated in order for in-person learning to begin. she said she believes this means schools will not go back this school year. despite the statewide vaccine shortage, san francisco mayor london breed today painted an optimistic picture in the fight against covid.

she said cases are going down and the city is soon to enter phase 1b of vaccinations. starting on february 24th, the next tier of people will be eligible for the vaccine. that includes grocery workers, emergency workers and police officers, and yes, teachers. >> that's a really exciting thing that we're going to be able to expand the number of people who are eligible in the next two weeks, but to also reiterate that the vaccine supply is still limited. >> reporter: this announcement comes just days after the san francisco unified school district facing a lawsuit from the city came to an agreement with the union on how to resume in-person learning. vaccinations a key part of it. the agreement says schools can only reopen when the city is in the red tier and all staff are vaccinated. today mayor breed said she still has a lot of questions about the agreement. >> i'm worried that the tentative agreement proposed by the union will not get us to a

place in this city where we will even open schools this year. >> reporter: a big hurdle is the vaccine shortage. it's unclear how long it will take to get every teacher vaccinated. breed made it clear she'd like schools to resume even sooner if possible. >> there is no way i would have ever support using the legal system to try and get our schools open if we were on a path of moving it forward, and if it weren't for the department of public health telling us that it is safe to do so. we have to do better. we have to think about these children. >> reporter: we did ask the union that represents the teachers about breed's comments today. take a look. they called on breed to vaccinate teachers before february 24th. they said if she prioritizes teachers then they might be able to reopen this school year. live at home, liz kreutz, abc7 news.

this is all unfolding right now. at this point, it's unknown exactly how much oil is in the water. richmond emergency officials sent out an alert saying an incident at the chevron refinery could affect individuals with respiratory sensitivities. we'll continue to bring you updates on abc7 news at 5:00 as well as the abc7 news website, abc7news.com, and our app. a funeral service took place today for an elderly san francisco man killed in a violent attack last month as he walked near his home. families and friends gathered at woodlawn funeral home in colma today to remember the 84 who died after he was shoved to the ground on anza vista avenue on january 28th. today his daughter and son-in-law thanked the public and law enforcement for its outpouring of support. >> there has been a lot of support. it's more than we ever thought that could happen. >> yeah, it is a great loss.

our family, i lost my father. everyone supporting our but we miss grandpa. >> the suspect, 19-year-old antoine watson pleaded not guilty last week to charges of murder and elder abuse. a coalition of bay area organizations denounce the violent attacks against members of their community today. at least 700 locally and some 2800 nationally over the last year. >> our community is fearful of being in the public alone, simply going for a walk, living our daily lives. these incidents are stark reminders that urgent action must be taken to protect our community from discrimination from violence and sometimes hate. >> this morning's action comes a day after oakland police announced the arrest of 29-year-old yaya muslim, who is accused of pushing a 91-year-old

man to the ground. at least eight groups have volunteered to help fight this targeted violence. it's a difficult moment in time for a new police chief to take the helm in oakland, but leronne armstrong says he is ready to focus on the changes ahead. abc7 news reporter leslie brinkley took advantage of an opportunity to question the new chief one-on-one today. >> the commission called you the man of the moment. the mayor said you're born and bred in oakland. how is that going to help you as the new chief? >> i think it helps me bring credibility in the community. i've spent my 22 years invested in the community. >> reporter: chief leronne armstrong says he hopes to change the culture of the observe land police department at a pivotal moment. there are so many layers of racial tension in the community manifested most recently in the chinatown attacks. do you believe that bigotry or racism is a motivating factor in these attacks on asian americans? >> i will say that we know that

suspects have come to chinatown specifically to target asian victims. >> reporter: he is pushing for a more visible police presence, as well as getting businesses to invest in surveillance cameras. >> as you can see in this case, where a 91-year-old victim was assaulted, the video of that incident is what helped us arrest the suspect in this case. but we don't want people to become vigilantes. we don't want people to take things into their own hands. we want them to call police and observe and report what they see so that we can immediately follow up. >> reporter: but when people call 911 in oakland, oftentimes it doesn't get action on the part of police. how is that going to change? >> that is the difficulty when you have a department that is one of the smallest departments for a city this size in america. we have 732 officers at this time compared to 793 a year ago. so significantly down from what it used to be.

but when it comes to our ability to respond to calls for service, our ability to address violent crime has not been impacted. some of the other units we use to support our enforcement activity like traffic is not available to us. but i think we're managing. >> are you prioritizing enforcement of sideshows? >> it's my hope that in this budgetary situation that we find ourselves in, where funding may not be available, that we come up with a different approach and our regional approach we feel like will be the most effective way to address our side show activity. >> reporter: oakland is experiencing a huge spike in crime this year. 15 murders up to this point versus one in the same period last year. how do you get at that? is this related to the pandemic do you think? >> yeah, i believe that it is related to the pandemic. going out into community, mediating conflict because of all of the requirements related to covid, they're not able to do

that as well. we're trying to address violence not only in the asian community, but this all communities in oakland. i believe that you can focus on violence, reducing violence while still practicing constitutional policing. ou command staff, our supervisors have to hold our officers accountable. >> reporter: the new chief has many challenges ahead. in oakland, i'm leslie brinkley, abc7 news. >> a lot on his plate for sure. time now for consumer news. >> 7 on your side's michael finney is here now with a looked a today's headlines including another warning that everyone is fair game when it comes to scams. michael? >> those guys never sleep, let me tell you. an investigation by the website cyber news has found that 500,000 facebook accounts were recently compromised by a phishing attack. it starts when the user receives a message that appears to be from a friend who claims to have found a photo or video with the user in it. when the user clicks on the
