department of public health to change that after multiple calls and e-mails raising the question, we received a response stating we are now looking into it. >> it is really easy to plan this stuff when you have it all controlled in a handful of centers, just wading out into the community and doing door-to-door campaigns and going to be a little unpredictable there and there's just bound to be some wastage. >> reporter: the abc7 i-team filed a public record's 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 and 180 doses in contra costa and 60 doses wasted in san mateo county. these numbers are small in comparison, representing less than 1% of the total number of vaccinationsed a mipstered in each county. alameda and napa counties reported zero waste. san francisco, marin tell us the

data is currently unavailable. so what's causing the waste? health officials in sonoma county tell us doses have gone unused because of a dropped syringe or dropped or chipped vial or an open vial at the end of the day. >> really making sure what vaccine you have on site matches the people who are readily available to be vaccinated. >> reporter: del luna oversees the san mateo vaccination program. what lessons did you learn early on about eliminating dose waste? >> we maybe didn't have as tight a control on the inventory and more vials were open 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 and not opening up any more doses than we need to to really take care of the people that we have confirmed appointments for. >> reporter: the question is, are counties across the state following suit?

we won't know that answer until the state starts tracking this data and makes it publicly available. we'll keep a close eye on it. for the i-team, stephanie sierra, abc7 news. >> interesting report there. today texans will get a brief bit of warm relief from this historic and deadly freeze. electricity is slowly starting to come back on, but at last check this morning about 85,000 people are without power. many more are struggling to find basic drinking water. texes' elected leaders are facing nonstop questions about how the power grid failed and who is to blame. >> it hasn't been a problem for a long time. became a problem this week. we believe that, you know, we had not had a problem except for some rolling brownouts in the summer. let me finish. >> i want to. but i have to stop you. that was incorrect to say that this only became a problem this week is incorrect, sir. >> a weak cold front is expected tomorrow night, but that should only bring minimal impacts.
