tonight the i-team is pushing the california department of public health to push data to ensure vaccine procedures are being enforced. stephanie sierra is digging into how many doses have gone to waste across the bay area. steph, what have you found? >> so far 631 doses have been wasted in clinics across four bay area counties. now we have analyzed the numbers. and when you compare them to the total number of doses administered in each county, the waste is pretty limited. >> we still need to be cautious until we reach herd immunity. >> reporter: the governor reminding californians to be cautious as vaccine doses continue to be in short supply. 8.7 million doses have been delivered across the state. nearly 77% have been used. that leaves more than two million doses potentially waiting in freezers, reserved for second shots. but how can we be sure those doses aren't wasted? >> more transparency.

>> yet, the state isn't tracking that information on their website. so we're pushing the california department of public health to change that. after multiple calls and emails raising the question, we received a response stating we are now looking into it. >> it's really easy to plan this stuff when you have it all controlled in a handful of large centers. it's when you start going, wading out into the deep end of the community and doing door to door campaigns, it's going to be a little unpredictable there. and there is just bound to be some wastage. >> reporter: the i-team filed a public records request and found as of friday, 631 doses have been wasted across four bay area counties since distribution started in december. 292 doses wasted in santa clara county. 180 doses wasted in contra costa county. fewer than 100 wasted in sonoma county. and 60 doses wasted in san mateo county. these numbers are small in comparison, representing less than 1% of the total number of vaccinations administered in

each county. alameda and napa counties reported zero waste. san francisco, solano and marin counties tell us the data is currently unavailable. so what's causing the waste? health officials in sonoma county tell us doses have gone unused either because of a dropped syringe, dropped or chipped vial, or an opened vial at the end of the day. >> really is making sure what vaccine you have on-site matches the people who are readily available to be vaccinated. >> reporter: de lune that oversees san mateo's vaccination program. what lessons did you learn early on about limiting dose waste? >> we maybe didn't have as tight a control on the inventory and more vials were opened than should have. >> reporter: that was a problem flagged in early january. now the county uses modeling data from previous clinics to estimate a proper vaccine supply based on the number of confirmed appointments. >> we're not overly thawing any doses and not openingany more doses that we need to really take care of the people that we

have confirmed appointments for. >> reporter: the question is are counties across the state following suit. now we won't know that answer s this data and make it publicly available. we are told that will be a priority, but i'll believe it once i see it. so in the meantime, we'll keep monitoring it, ama. >> and stephanie, going back to those totals from each county, do those includes numbers from other health care systems like kaiser? >> no, this data is specific to any county-run vaccination site. so it does not include any federal site, health care system like kaiser or other multi-county entity. although we have reached out to kaiser to check if this data is being tracked and we are still waiting to hear back. >> okay, thank you, stephanie. some vaccination sites in california are having to hit the pause button as limited doses of vaccines come into the state. it's frustrating. as leslie brinkley explains, many of those delays are related to the bad weather in the midwest and the south.

>> reporter: winter weather shut down a fed ex hub in memphis and a ups hub in louisville meaning vaccine doses coming into california are not arriving as expected. fed ex is rerouting through a regional hub in oakland to try to speed things up, but the delays forced the vaccine site at disneyland to shut down completely. in the bay area it varies county by county. >> weather delays from storms around the country are allotments in california. and also, the state is adjusting the allotments that individual counties are receiving. so the combination of those factors has resulted in us only scheduling appointments for second doses for the next one or two weeks. >> we did hear from one off our pharmacy partners that they had to cancel about 500 vaccine doses because the vaccine couldn't come through. and we didn't have any extra to give them.

>> reporter: thousands of moderna vaccines did not show up in berkeley. the city says they can get by this coming week, but may have it's a similar situation early. throughout alameda county. okay for now if more doses don't come in next week, there could be cancellations. san francisco says their vaccine supply is inconsistent and limited, possibly jeopardizing distribution plans next week. and in napa county -- >> we haven't received our vaccine inventory this week, which means we're going have to be rescheduling our second doses that we planned. >> reporter: 900 appointments are being postponed there. if more vaccine doses don't start rolling in soon, contra costa county says at the rate they're giving out shots right now, it could take two to three who are currently eligible, let alone adding in any new groups. i'm leslie brinkley, abc7 news. >> and during a tour of pfizer's plant in michigan today,

president biden remained committed to his goal of having the vaccine available to every american by the end of july. however, he conceded the recent winter storm could hinder that effort. >> we will have ordered much of which will have been distributed over 600 million doses by the end of july, july 29th is the expected date that could change. look what's happening with the weather now, for example, slowing up the distribution right now. >> the extreme weather is blamed for delaying the shipment of about six million doses. san francisco's mass vaccination site at city college reopened today, but only for people who had appointments for their second dose. the city college site and the site at moscone center closed last week because of a lack of supply. san francisco also opened a third site in the bayview neighborhood this week to give about 200 shots a day to start. starting tuesday in san francisco, you can ride muni for free if you're going to or from a covid vaccination site. mayor breed says it's part of the city's efforts to make it as

convenient as possible for people to receive the vaccine. you just need your appointment confirmation or vaccine card as proof of payment. after nearly a year on the sidelines, some high school sports will be allowed to resume in california starting next week. this means football, baseball, softball and several other teams that play outdoors will be able to compete. there is one big requirement. a county has to have a case rate below 14 per 100,000 residents. in the bay area, all counties except contra costa county and solano qualify. >> we just simply ask they give every consideration to letting these kids back out there. but the decision ultimately is up to each school district. >> there is a mountain of evidence that supports that outdo outdoor use force done safely is not a threat. >> sports like football and water polo will need to get tested weekly if the test rate is at least 7,000 per 100,000

residents. it was a wet morning. looking good now, although we are not quite done with the rain yet. >> we are not. and spencer is here with a first look at the accuweather forecast. spencer? >> okay, dan and ama. we have a light storm coming our way. here is a look at the storm impact scale. it will be pushing in late tonight and overnight producing spotty showers in under .15 for most of the bay area. forecast animation starts at 9:00 p.m. notice between 9:00 and midnight, we'll see the line of showers swing down through the north by and approach the golden gate. by 3:00 a.m., it will be almost out of the bay area. it's moving very, very quickly, and the rainfall totals behind that storm will be minimum, only up to 0.15 for most of the bay area. so what will follow? some nice mild weather, and i'll give you a close-up look at the full accuweather seven-day forecast in a few minutes. dan and ama? >> okay, thank you, spencer. a pledge to increase diversity. bay area companies join the challenge to hire more people of color and women to filip positions.

each job we were delivering a shot of hope. that we're getting closer to the end of this pandemic. >> reporter: after today other teachers in this county will continue to be vaccinated at the oakland coliseum site. governor gavin newsom said he would set aside 10% of the state's next allocation of the vaccine for teachers. when schools will reopen is a matter of contention between the governor and the legislature. sacramento introduced a bill that would financially incentivize districts that opened by april 15th, but newsom believes that could happen sooner. >> that's almost near the end of the school year, and those are for special need kids. i want to get our special need kids back in school sooner than two months. >> reporter: but even today oakland superintendent said besides the vaccine, other safety requirements should be met before reopening schools for in-person learning. >> which is our ppe, our social distancing and testing. we're going require all of those in order to keep our students safe. >> reporter: while today provided much optimism, we were

reminded that oakland unified and the teachers union are still negotiating when and how to reopen for in-person learning. lyanne melendez, abc7 news. the white house coronavirus task force is pushing the vaccine timeline back for elementary school kids until after january of 2022. it's based on when research trials on children will finish up. a small astrazeneca vaccine trial involving 300 kids in the uk as young as 6 to 12 years old is just beginning. pfizer, moderna and johnson & johnson are expecting to start trials for this younger group in the spring. some parents are still worried about the vaccine's safety. >> to me i believe they came up soon.his method oac i'm just not a believer. >> i'm comfortable having them go to school, but definitely would be interested in getting them vaccinated as soon as it's available. >> some doctors say while immunizing children may be important for herd immunity, it should not be a prerequisite for

returning to the classroom. >> now abc7 special correspondent dr. alok patel joined our 4:00 p.m. newscast to talk about vaccinating kids today. he addressed those parents who may be wary of vaccinating children. >> the vaccine process seems rushed because of a lot of the rhetoric last year. the title operation warp speed and mainstream media constantly talking about how this vaccine was developed at breakneck speed when people were not focusing on the underlying science for rna vaccines has been studied for more than ten years. all it needed was a plug and play system which we got in january, and all the trials were checked very closely for safety and efficacy. the same thing is going to be done for those young children as well. >> dr. patel says part of the fda process will be determining whether kids need a different schedule or doses than adults too. while we're talking about kids, summer camps to help keep kids learning are already starting to fill up.

>> yeah, they are, dan. and parents have to act quickly. and this year camps have to get creative and be flexible in these covid times. kuriodyssey provides really fun learning for kids. there is science, animals, it has it all. but how do you set up your usual summer camp when no one knows where we will be in the pandemic come june? i spoke with their director of education about that. >> planning has obviously been a challenge. what have you come up with to make sure that kids can have a fun, safe learning experience no matter what the pandemic throws at us come june? >> we have planned to have our camp be conducted in person and outdoors 100%. so we are fortunate at curiodyssey to be in county couy park, hipark coyote point park so we are lucky to be outside to conduct our program. that is number one.

because we don't know what the state of the pandemic will be come june, we are also moving forward with and anticipating meeting all the safety guidelines set out by the cdc. so we're going to be asking kids to wear masks. we're going to be having physical distancing, hand washing, of course, and we feel that those mitigation matters as well as being outside, which has shown to really reduce the spread and the risk of getting covid, of really running a safe summer camp program this year. >> and i know what you're thinking. what if, god forbid, there is another lockdown. if that happens, curiodyssey has a backup plan which carl detailed for me in our interview. to get the scoop on that and what parents need to do to sign up for camp, head to abc7news.com to check out the full interview. carl also talks about the fun camp themes they have planned for this year. a lot to look forward to. >> great stuff. i love the name too, very

coverage at competitive prices. sometimes that means we have to make the tough decision to no longer insure a property. the consumer advocacy group united policy holders calls the decision arbitrary. >> carelessness. i just can't -- it doesn't make any sense that that kind of a guideline would be -- would be legal, or would be in place. it's too subjective. >> reporter: she says guidelines need to be clearly laid out on how many claims can get you canceled or raise your rates. the trade group insurance information institute says valuables should never be left unattended. >> i'm just in shock that we use insurance that we pay for emergencies. and when we have an emergency, we actually can't really use it. >> the department of insurance says it will investigate whether state farm violated any guidelines. if catalina files a complaint.

and dan, that's the takeaway here. this is a regulated industry. if you have concerns, you should check with the state and make sure all the rules have been filed. >> that's a good point. that's a great point. because it is a closely regulated industry, isn't it, michael? lots of rules and regulations. >> it certainly is. >> thank you, michael. a tiny island in the south atlantic will be the first territory in the world to have its population fully vaccinated against covid-19. ascension island is part of the united kingdom and has just over 800 inhabitants, many who are military personnel. the royal air force through 4,000 miles to deliver enough doses of the astrazeneca vaccine for everyone to have their two shots. well, for most people, an anniversary just one day, right? not for disney. it's planning a year and a half-long celebration for the 50th anniversary of walt disney world. the park will be transformed with new decoration, which disney supplies as earadescense.

disney is of course the parent company of abc7. so many great memories always made at disney. >> always fun. on to the weather forecast. spencer christian is here. >> yes. >> weekend, spencer, finally. >> yes. it's upon us. so is a little bit of rain, but just a little bit. skies are mainly clear at the moment. the approaching storm ranks only 1 on the storm impact scale. so spotty showers overnight and into the early morning hours. gusty wind, that's about all we can expect from it. d-s. and early tomorrow, the skies will start to clear. here is the accuweather seven-day forecast. it's going to be a windy, blustery day, though, even as it clears tomorrow. and then look at the warm-up from sunday through next tuesday. high temperatures climbing into the 70s around parts of the bay area monday and tuesday. a little bit of a cooldown going into the end of next week. but no more rain in sight for a while.

dan and ama? >> all right. thanks, spencer. >> hopefully it comes back. all right. we're both so eager to thank him. who is eager to toss to larry. you, dan? >> go ahead, am marks please. >> all right. sports director larry beil is here with the latest in sports. >> kids, don't fight. don't fight, okay? yeah, please. calm down. the warriors have not been able to win three straight games this season. 0 for 6 coming in to tonight. they had victory within their grasp in orlando. we are the thrivers. women with metastatic breast cancer. our time... ...for more time... ...has come. living longer is possible- and proven in postmenopausal women taking kisqali plus fulvestrant.

in a clinical trial, kisqali plus fulvestrant helped women live longer with hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer. and it significantly delayed disease progression. kisqali can cause lung problems or an abnormal heartbeat, which can lead to death. it can cause serious skin reactions, liver problems, and low white blood cell counts that may result in severe infections. tell your doctor right away if you have new or worsening symptoms, including breathing problems, cough, chest pain, a change in your heartbeat, dizziness, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, tiredness, loss of appetite, abdomen pain, bleeding, bruising, fever, chills, or other symptoms of an infection, a severe or worsening rash, are or plan to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. avoid grapefruit during treatment. ask your doctor about living longer with kisqali. this is a no-nonsense message from three. small business insurance is usually so complicated, you need to be a lawyer to understand it. that's why three was created. it's a better kind of business insurance. it's only three pages.

straightforward. if you own it, three covers it. got a cheese slice for "spokesperson?" that's me. i don't even need to see what's happening behind me to know it's covered. (screaming) this commercial is now over. logo. three. no nonsense. just common sense.

now abc7 sports with larry beil. >> good evening. the warriors opened a four-game east coast road trip tonight in orlando against a magic team they had beat el paso just last week in san francisco. wild game. the dub, they become the comeback kids of the nba. warrior greats cliff ray shaking his head. the warriors down in the first quarter. steph on the drive plus the foul, ties it up. the seated dance. i like that. i'm doing one myself. nicola vukovich feasted against the small ball dubs, throwing down 30 points. triple-double in this game. evan fournier, 2. magic up 13 at the break. kelly oubre jr. leading warriors comeback. he goes to the rack. 13 of the 26 come in the third. the warriors went up by as many as 13, and tfourth. magic did not.

terrance ross puts orlando up by five. they went on a 15-2 run. warriors not done. steph a huge three here. makes it a one-point game. but shot only 11 of 29. after two orlando free throw, seven seconds left. it's steph, smothered, warriors lose 124-120, failing again to win three in a row now for the seventh time. women's college hoops. cal looking for their first victory of the year, hosting number 10 arizona. bears got 24 points and 10 boards from dahlia daniels. late third quarter, leilani mcintosh, nice pass to daniels. and the bears are down only one. bu a mcdonald who banks it in late in the fourth. arizona wins 59-50. cal goes to 0-14 on the season. on the baseball now. position players do not have to report to a's camp in mesa until monday. but matt chapman wanted to come in early as he works his way back from hip surgery.

the platinum glove winner had the opportunity. he put his body on the line all the time at third base. he had been in pain for a while before the procedure. working out in southern california. skipper bob melvin says they're not going rush chapman back on to the field. he looks to be leaner and in very good shape. >> he is eager. it's going to be more trying to hold him back than trying to get him ready. and, again, if we get into games early on, and i feel like maybe dh'ing him a little longer, we'll take the lead from a our training staff. but i don't see anything at least at this point i'm seeing anything different than i normally do. giants hoping more from starter logan webb. he had an era over .5 last season. he worked out with former a's closer sean doolittle who won a ring with the nationals in 2019. >> being an old a's fan, i get to see all these a's guys, kind of pick their brains about everything. they're just cool to talk to

them, about experiences and world series champion. it's cool. it's really fun. this weekend, the nhl has two games outside in spectacular lake tahoe. look at this view. unfortunately, the sharks, the closest team to tahoe, they are not scheduled to play in this event. the vegas golden knights and colorado avalanche play tomorrow. and then the flyers and bruins on sunday. stunning views. sadly, no fans, but this will be a weekend to remember with that venue for the players. wow! is that spectacular, guys? by the way, dan, in case you're wondering about the weather, because sometimes the ice could melt if it gets too hot, it be just the way you like it, cool and crisp in the 40s. >> yes. it's an inside joke whenever i say cool and crisp. but i do like it. they tease me. >> it's because we love you, dan. here's tonight's primetime

astronauts landed on the moon and walked around, and then came back safely. what makes all of that possible? science and the inescapable human need to discover and to learn and to achieve. it's why perseverance is on mars right now. and it's why people are being vaccinated against coronavirus in record time. what really matters is we savor the stunning images that rover so far away is sending back is where science learns and takes us next. i always love to hear from you. let me know what you think. follow me on twitter and facebook at dan ashley abc7 news. >> and that is going to do it for this edition of abc7 news. we thank you for joining us as always. i'm ama daetz. >> and i'm dan ashley. for spencer christian, michael finney, larry beil, all of us here, we appreciate your time. hope you have a nice evening and take a look at these fabulous photos and video from our sky 7. isn't that nice? san francisco at dusk. see you tonight.
