johnson's single-shot version, a big boost for the nation's reinforcements, but when will they arrive and the important differences to getting the united states one step closer to immunity. good morning, everybody. it's sunday, february 28th. i'm liz kreutz. thank you for joining us. we'll have everything you need to know about johnson & johnson's vaccine authorization in a moment. first let's start with a quick look at the bay area forecast with meteorologist lisa argen. >> maybe you felt some of that wind yesterday. still breezy in the upper elevations. those winds will be dialing back. we'll have a milder afternoon. high pressure is in control once again. here's a look at san jose. we can get a glimpse of that full-moon there, which was full a couple days ago. current numbers in the low 50s downtown. a warmer start in the city. 49 in oakland. 43 in san jose. 37 in morgan hill. out to the east bay, from-week where it is clear. upper 30s in novato, concord and livermore. the colder spots in the inland valleys with 46 in napa.

mid 40s in novato. back at home, we'll be well into the 60s for the afternoon time. upper 60s for some of you. we'll track 70s and a little rain in the week ahead. >> thank you. now to the major new developments in our vaccine watch. the cdc will be meeting today to review data on the heels of the fda's authorization for johnson & johnson's one-shot vaccine. abc news reporter, christine sloan has news on how many more doses we could see become available this week. >> reporter: the united states has a third weapon against the coronavirus pandemic. saturday night the fda gave emergency use authorization to johnson & johnson's one-shot covid vaccine for adults ages 18 and over. as with the pfizer and moderna vaccines, officials say this latest vaccine meets rigorous safety standards and effectiveness, however -- >> similar to the previously authorized involved vaccine, the

vaccine should not be given to known individuals with severe allergic reactions to any of its components. >> reporter: president biden calling the authorization an encouraging development and in a statement adding there is light at the end of the tunnel but we cannot let our guard down now or assume that victory is inevitable. today the next step, an independent advisory panel at the cdc will hold an emergency meeting to review the data and make a public health recommendation on the use of this latest vaccine. it's expected as early as monday that 3.9 million doses will ship out including 800,000 to pharmacies. this as the head of the cdc issues a stark warning that we may be seeing the beginning effects of new variants of the virus and americans need to remain vigilant. >> it is important to remember where we are in the pandemic. things are tenuous. now is not the time to relax restrictions. >> christine sloan, abc news,

new york. governor newsom says california will get around 380,000 doses of the first batch of the johnson & johnson vaccine this week. more than 1.1 million over the next three weeks. this vaccine version is much easier to distribute because it doesn't need to be kept in cold temperatures. it comes as the state prepares to switch over to a more centralized vaccine appointment and delivery system, that will be hosted by shield starting on march 31th. on "this week" dr. anthony fauci will talk about what comes next after the fda authorized the new covid-19 vaccine. that's at 8:00 this morning on abc7. happening today, a vaccine clinic opens up in the south bay for farm workers. 1,000 workers at the monterey mushroom facility will receive their first dose today and wednesday. the site opens at 11:00 this morning. officials say that this could serve as a collaboration for other regions

in the state. this increased vaccine supply means harder to reach communities may finally be able to get the vaccine. as abc7 news reporter matt bean reports, that includes home-bound patients who have yet to receive a shot. >> we have been limited in our ability to vaccinate our home-bound patients. >> reporter: carla parisinato is a geriatric physician. she says home-bound patients have not received a vaccine even though they're eligible due to their age. >> every week we're told not this week, there's not enough vaccines. our patients have been devastated because we've been telling them it's coming. we will get to you. >> reporter: she said she would like more data about the johnson & johnson vaccine for people over 75, though having it on the market will help access for everyone. >> one more vaccine on the market brings us closer to that goal and it means greater opportunity for people to be vaccinated given there's been limited supply of the two

existing vaccines. >> reporter: she says she's ready to didn't the doses when they come in, but still doesn't have a timeframe. >> they're just having to sit back and wait and hope they don't get sick waiting for the vaccine. >> reporter: matt boone, abc7 news. caretakers, especially family members filling that role have been having difficulty getting the vaccine. we take your vaccine questions to our abc7 websites and we've gotten so many of them throughout the pandemic. ones like this one from maria l. she wrote my husband and i care for my elderly mother who is 85 years old with alzheimer's and lives with us. i'm 58, my husband is 61. we have no paperwork to verify this. can we get vaccinated? we asked the same ucsf doctor this question, and she says, yes, they are eligible, though they need proof of their elderly care from a doctor, but even then it's complicated. >> i've had many physicians be asked by their patients to write letters saying -- explaining i'm the caregiver for x person who

is older and i'm essentially a health care worker. they've gone to vaccination sites and been declined and turned down. >> we have assembled our abc7 vaccine team standing by to answer all your questions when it comes to the vaccines as these dopmentes developments continue this week, you can find their stories and updates here on abc7news.com or your abc7 news app. >> all of this comes at a time where we continue to see very encouraging trends in fighting the virus. yesterday california reported a little more than 5,100 new cases. that's down more than 1,500 from this same time last week. the seven-day positivity rate continues to steadily dip, now down to 2.5%. this week is looking to be a big week for relaxed restrictions in the bay area. san francisco and santa clara counties say they are preparing for moves into the red tier this week. other bay area counties are close behind. as part of our effort to help build a better bay area

amid the pandemic, we're focused on your health. this weekend is the first for outdoor sports in some bay area counties. abc7 news reporter anser hassan has our story from berkeley where student athletes and weekend warriors couldn't wait to compete. >> reporter: it's just practice this morning, but soon it will be back to competition. >> instead of a training session you are putting on your kit and come out to play and there would be referees on the field. >> reporter: ted kemp is coach for the albany berkeley soccer club. his team has been practicing for weeks but the new rules they can start playing games. last week california relaxed rules regulating high school sports, and as of friday the new rules allow club and adult leagues to get back to competition as well. >> they've been conditioning and working so hard to be able to return to play and they can now showcase their skills and what they learned. >> reporter: outdoor sports are allowed in counties with fewer than 14 cases of covid-19 for every 100,000 residents. the guidelines leave it to each county, district or school to resume play. >> although we are returning to

play, we are still in a pandemic and that's something that we need to, you know, be careful of. >> playing against teams again, running around more, and seeing other kids playing against us. >> reporter: 8-year-old zoe aguirre knows her season is about to change. what won't change is having to wear masks. coaches and spectators have to wear masks as do athletes who aren't actively playing. coach nico reicher says being able to compete is an important step in getting back to normal life. >> usually you practice and practice and have the pay-off of winning a game or going to competition in general. i'm excited for them to see what the end goal is. >> reporter: in the east bay, anser hassan, abc7 news. as local counties announce changes to their covid-19 restrictions, we're closely following this week's announcements with our reopening tracker. you can see how close your county is and what's open when

right now at abc7news.com. lisa, it's deceptive. it feels nice out but it's also really cold. >> yeah, it is. that's because the winds have quieted down in some spots. right here on mount tam, temperatures in the mid 40s right now. those northwesterly winds were up to about 23 miles per hour, now under 19 miles per hour. so that's going to be the trend. it will bring a warmer sunday and a warmer start to the week. details next. >> thank you. also next -- >> this is not okay, you know? why is this happening in our community? >> she said, mommy, this is not right. i want to do a march. i said okay. i've never done this before. >> ending the ate against asian americans. see what this driven bay area teenager is doing to stop it once and for all. a new way to dine and dash. how one southern california spot is having to close because of a sad new scam.

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.

san mateo is not the first one this year in the bay area. across the nation, an even louder rallying cry including from prominent asian americans. actor daniel day kim has been spreading awareness on social media through #stopasianhate. the co-founder of nonprofit gold house, a collective of asian leaders, has been working to share resources. in a nutshell what is the rally cry for you? >> the rally cry is not just to act, not just to post on social media or donate, but to do it together, to buy from black businesses and gold businesses, speaking up for folks and so on. >> part of a long history in which asian communities suffered violence. >> reporter: back in san mateo, ashlyn so was surrounded by friends but also an older generation inspired by her actions. >> stop asians from being targeted. >> in reality it will take generations.

but the good news is generations are within sight. in the case of this 7th grader, they are our children already. >> reporter: in san mateo, kris reyes, abc7 news. in new york city asian americans are terrified by a wave of attacks. in just ten days there have been seven assaults in their community. >> anyone who commits an act of hatred against the asian american community will be found, will be arrested. >> any attack or act of hate against one of us is an attack against all of us! >> hundreds showed up for a new york rally to denounce the violence. mayor bill deblasio says the city will meet with asian community leaders to discuss how to stop it. nypd is investigating the motives in the attacks. as the bay area confronts issues of race and social justice, we are here to help. head to our website, abc7news.com/takeaction for a complete list of conversations and local resources. in the east bay, st. mary's college is temporarily taking
