this is abc 7 news. a promising first step in vaccinating children. pfizer just released results of its trial in ages 12 through 15. >> we don't want this to become the hunger games. we really need to make it does ea >> we could be just hours away from it becoming even more difficult to get they vaccine appointment. our bay area counties are ready to give shots to all adults 50 and up. the county reopening in orange deer today and why another county that is expected to advance didn't. get ready for some springtime heat. mike maze tracking record warm today. good morning. i am wearing my 80s members only jacket today in honor of the 80s that we are going to be hitting. >> i wish i would have thought of that. that is very brilliant. thank you, reggie.

maybe i will run upstairs between hits and join you. i don't have a members only jacket but i have some stuff from the 80s. let's take a look at what is going on on live doppler 7 air is really dry outside. we have that light, offshore breeze. what does it do? it puts us into record high territory. we have a potential record high from 84 in san francisco to 84 in napa to 85 in richmond and oakland and livermore. 87 in san jose. it will be a warm one. even 82 out to half moon bay. we will take a look at the microclimates to see if we can find anymore record highs today or tomorrow. there are some encouraging news in the fight against covid- 19. pfizer just announced this morning that it's vaccine is 100% effective in kids ages 12 to 15. jobina is at the live desk with more. >> pfizer is the first vaccine to show data from a trial involving children and it is a

promising first step toward vaccinating americans. the news comes from the results of a pfizer trial that enrolled around 2200 children ages 12 to 15. some participants received a placebo. others got the vaccine. several with a placebo developed covid-19 but none of the vaccinated children became infected. this is promising news. >> this is really a high level of efficacy. no side effects but we are seeing so far. we will have the fda do the full evaluation but this is terrific. >> pfizer says it will ask the fda to update vaccine authorization to children 12 and older and many are seeing this as a promising turning point as schools prepare for a greater return to in person learning in the fall. vaccine availability is growing in the east bay. contra costa county is the first county in california

where anyone 16 and up is eligible to get the vaccine. this comes as the county opened up a new drive-through vaccination site at six flags hurricane harbor waterpark in concord. once the site is running at full speed, it will be able to give shots to 15,000 people a week. even before that, county says they were thousands of available appointments for this week. >> because we have unfilled appointment slots, we want to get shots in arms as quickly as possible. we don't want these variants to out run us. the county is making it available now for those 16 and older. basically no restrictions to get vaccinated. >> curnt coa county's adults are fully vaccinated. there is expected to be a big rush for vaccine appointments across the state starting tomorrow because that is when anyone 50 and up will become eligible. supply is still a very critical factor. matt boone is at the new vaccine site at hurricane harbor in concord this morning.

>> reporter: good morning, kumasi. this site will be key in that expansion of eligibility but contra costa county, as we already know, has moved into that 50 and overpays already. starting tomorrow, that will be the case for the entire state. the state has vaccinated about 2 million of the people in that category but that still leaves 11 million people 50 and older that have not received a shot yet. this decision is being made with the knowledge that an increasing and steady supply of vaccine is heading our way but what has always been the challenge for counties and healthcare providers is it is hard to schedule appointments just on the promise of having that increased dose allocation. even with mass vaccination sites running at full capacity, it will take weeks to administer that many doses. a member of the california vaccine advisory board says the rush to find an appointment on the website tomorrow will be something like we have not done since the pandemic began. >> in a way, it feels like we

are trying to get concert tickets. that is my other concern. when people start going online on april 1 how long are they going to be waiting. >> reporter: california is expecting to get 2.5 million doses a week by mid april. that will increase to about 3 million a week by the end of april. right now, the state is urging anyone 50 and older to go to the sign up. put your information in so that once you are eligible, you will get the notification and be ready to go. abc 7 news. rd, matt boe, today, 500 farmworkers in santa clara county are said to receive their second dose of covid-19 vaccine. it has been a month since they got there first vaccination at monterey mushrooms farm in morgan hill. many of them are employed by monterey mushrooms or other nearby farms.

would distract me. there was a man being killed. i would have been able to provide medical attention to the best of my abilities and this human was denied that. >> the judge ended the day halfway through hansen's testimony. he reprimanded her for her interaction with the defense attorney. the trial is set to resume at 7:00 a.m. our time. let's take a look at what is going on outside. the first thing i want to show you is how bone dry the air is. even in the morning hours where our humidity is the highest, we have places like livermore, 44%. 21% in pacifica. that gives you an idea we are dealing with and why it will be so easy for sunshine all day today to warm us up to record levels. right now in the mid to upper

into contra costa's efforts to expand that vaccine eligibility to anyone 16 and over. this site just opened, is a drive-through vaccination site. when it is at full capacity, they expect to deliver 15,000 doses each week to people coming through. last week, the county said they received 84,000 doses. that is up 30,000 from the week before. they had many open sign-up spots but part of that is due to the fact that the county has been getting doses from the federal government as well for their 11 federal health clinics in the county. still, they now expect a rush and that the sign-up system could be backed up but they recommend trying as soon as possible. >> the faster you sign-up, the faster you will get an appointment. someone who is 16 who signs up today will most likely get an
