6:01 pm
medicine. is there any explanation as to why it is that your arm gets swollen and you see that kind of rash and you are calling it the moderna arm? >> yes, so we don't know exactly why. we did do a biopsy and it looks a bit like the kind of reaction you would have with one of these delayed reactions to like a medication. >> reporter: what they found is it is safe to get the second shot even after a reaction like this one. it doesn't mean you are going to have other symptoms that are concerning and for most people, it was much less with their second dose. >> reporter: ucsf dr. says soreness at injection sites and headaches are common but not necessarily a bad thing. >> it is a good thing because your rna immune cells are being trained so that rna is going to be ready to fight it. >> reporter: medical experts agree that it is better to have a reaction to the vaccine that could last several weeks then to get covid. so he asked teresa. would you do it again?
6:02 pm
>> yes. >> reporter: in san francisco, luz pena, abc7 news. available currently in the united states. pfizer, moderna and johnson & johnson. concern over the astrazeneca vaccine continues to grow in europe despite declarations by medical experts that the vaccine is okay. germany, france and italy joined the growing list of countries suspending the use of astrazeneca's product following the reports of blood clots. dr. monica gandhi decision to suspend its use is an overreaction. >> out of 17 million doses given, we don't have astrazeneca here, there have been 37 events of clots. they don't seem to be causal meaning they cannot directly link it to the vaccine. >> reporter: as dr. gandhi
6:03 pm
mentioned, the astrazeneca met vaccine is not yet available in the u.s. however, the british company is preparing to file for emergency use authorization here in the states later this month or in early april. tonight, california entered its next phase of vaccine distribution, making about 4 million people newly eligible. the new group, phase 1 c if you are keeping track, between the ages of 15 to 64 with underlying health conditions or disability plus transit workers, people in congregant living centers and homeless people as well. contra costa county brought the vaccine to a homeless encampment today. 2000 people were living unsheltered in the county and health officials will try to vaccinate all of them. >> they are exposed to the elements and have higher risk conditions, living on the streets so that can put them at a higher risk for covid-19. >> i won't be so paranoid about getting sick anymore. i am afraid of needles but i had to go do this. i had to.
6:04 pm
>> 15 people received the johnson & johnson vaccine during today's clinic. the county will visit each encampment a number of times to try to get everyone vaccinated. as we have seen before, being eligible doesn't make a vaccine available. abc7 news reporter stephanie sierra is in the newsroom with more on this dilemma for a lot of people. >> we have been helping viewers try to schedule appointments all day. there were thousands available early this morning but by noon, it was trying to find a appointment in the bay area county. >> my doctors office said we don't have any so to stop calling us. >> reporter: this woman's son is autistic and recently underwent brain surgery. despite being high risk, the kelly's cannot find an appointment anywhere in the bay area. a similar situation. mars mota has a similar issue
6:05 pm
trying to find a vaccine. abc7 checked appointment availability in every bay area county. most locations that pop up our pharmacies. we got the same notice nearly every time. " no availability. please try a different search or check back later." the only place we could make an appointment was in fairfield. mike wasserman sits on caliphate -- california's vaccine committee. he says opening up all at once is not the most effective strategy. >> we might put more impediments in the way of getting the people who are at the most risk from getting vaccinated. >> reporter: the state one, a majority of apartments would not be available immediately due to supply constraints. for example, the must center has the capacity to administer 15 thousand shots per day but san francisco as a whole is only averaging 5000 shots a day. >> i hope that changes quickly.
6:06 pm
they have been opening up appointments on a daily basis in many cases so i hope that at must donate we see more appointments made available tonight and tomorrow morning. >> reporter: meantime, it is the luck of the draw for millions eligible like kelly. >> we will try another one. >> reporter: -- who are just hoping for a chance. the remaining 70% of vaccines are allocated from the state and federal government to healthcare providers like sutter health and kaiser permanent. kaiser tells us they are in the process of notifying members who now qualify for the shot under the state's eligibility. stephanie sierra, abc7 news. > that is a nice notice to get. stephanie, thank you. as more people become eligible to get the vaccine in california, there is a greater risk of abuse of the system. dr. patel, a member of our abc news vaccine team says expanding eligibility to those who have
6:07 pm
serious medical conditions is the right move but is also cause for concern. >> from everything we have seen we don't need a medical provider's note or proof. that is fair because in theory you don't want to violate medical security and it is not easy for everyone out there to see a healthcare provider. at the same time, i went on my turn.gov and made up information and it said i was eligible. i hope people out there are honest and are people who sincerely need the vaccine because this is an abuse of the system. >> with so many more people becoming eligible today, it could be another month, keep in mind, before the next group can sign up for an appointment. that would include people over the age of 50 with no underlying health conditions and those working in some jobs that are deemed essential. >> we are kick up the supply. we have analysts who are protecting all of this out and we are going to be seeing how many people are getting vaccinated. >> that state will
