to 15. jobina is live with what we're learning. >> reporter: it's a promising first step toward vaccinating younger 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 the placebo developed covid-19 but none of the vaccinated children became infected. this is promising news. >> this is really a high level of efficacy. 100% of kids were vaccinated. no side atwee stovethe a do th full evaluation. i think this is terrific. >> what's next here? pfizer says in the coming weeks it will ask the fda to update vaccine authorization to include children 12 and older and many are seeing this as a good turning point as schools prepare for a greater return to in person learning in the fall.

reggie. >> that is great news. thank you. speaking of vaccines, availability is growing in the east bay. rs california ounty is where anyone 16 and older is eligible to get a vaccine. once the site is running at full speed it'll be able to give shots to 15,000 people a week. but even before this the county says there were thousands of available appointments for this week. >> because we have unfilled appointment slots, we want to get shots in arms. we don't want these variants to outrun us. the county is making it available now for those 16 and over basically no restrictions to get vaccinated. >> currently about 25% of contra costa county's adults are fully vaccinated. starting tomorrow anyone above the age of 50 now eligible for the covid-19 vaccine in california. supply is a huge concern for counties ahead of what is

expected to be a large turnout. abc 7 news reporter matt boone live at a new vaccine clcl concord this morning. >> reporter: this site is going to be key in the implementation of this expansion. although contra costa county has had eligibility for 50 and over for a couple weeks now. so the expansion to 16 for this area is going to create more demand out here. overall the state is going to be moving into that 50 and over tier tomorrow. that's going to cause a lot of demand as well as opse apintments. so far the state says about 2 million californians over the age of 50 have already at least received one shot. but there's still 11 million people in that age group that have not been vaccinated at all. so this decision is being made with the knowledge that an increasing supply and steady supply of vaccine is heading our way. but what has always been the challenge for counties and healthcare providers is that

it's hard to schedule appointments just on the promise of having that increased dose allocation. so even with these mass vaccination sites running at full capacity it will take weeks to administer that many doses. a member of the advisory board says the rush to find an appointment on the website tomorrow will be something like we haven't done since the pandemic began. >> in a way it feels like we're trying to get concert tickets. there's a my other concern. when people start going online on april 1st how long are they going to be waiting? >> reporter: the state expects to get 2.5 million doses a week by mid april. that'll expand to 3 million doses by the end of april. if you are eligible or about to be eligible for 50 and older tomorrow you can go to the state's myturn.com website and start signing up now to be notified when you do become eligible. reporting live this morning in

yesterday. now the orange tier means indoor gym capacity can go from 10 to 25%. restaurants, movie theaters and churches can increase capacity to 50% and bars can reopen outdoors without food. now napa county was not able to leave the red tier because of a rise in cases last week. county officials say there was an outbreak at the veterans home of california. and they believe up to 25 people may have been affected at that facility. but that means napa county couldn't move into the orange tier this week. , now right now it's not clear when napa county will be moving into the orange tier. it could be next week given the number of vaccinations that are currently underway. and you can see where your county stands in the reopening process any time on our website. this map shows you what's open and what's closed in each tier and you can find it at abc7news.com. this morning we're expecting more dramatic testimony in the trial of the former police ofcharged

with george floyd's death. an off-duty minneapolis firefighter who says she was stopped from trying to save oyofthis testimony in the trial. >> yes, and the first two days were emotional and at times hard to watch. yesterday firefighter genevieve hansen told the court when she saw george floyd's condition she was immediately concerned. at the time hansen was offduty but did identify herself as a firefighter. hansen says she asked if she could provide medical help or at least show officers how to check for a pulse and perform first aid. in the courtroom there was a tense exchange with derek chauvin's defense attorney. he claimed chauvin was distracted by a crowd that showed up which prevented him from responding to george floyd's rapidly deteriorating condition, then suggested the same thing would have happened to hansen. >> i would be confident in doing my job and there's nothing anybody could say that would distract me.

there's 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 right. >> 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. >> thank you, jobina. sabra recalling one of its products. what they say may have wrong. williams connects. williams finishing strong. >> stanford is heading to the final four. we'll show you the shots that got them there. that was exciting. let's take a look at what's going on. 58 degrees with a light northeasterly breeze. activity planner is about being warm to hot today with record highs and extreme tree pollen.

backed up. 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 appointment faster than someone who is 16 that signs up next up week. >> reporter: one important thing to note about contra costa residents is these appointments must be made through the county's website or their vaccine phone line. they can't be made through the state's my turn website yet. once you input all your information and you can't immediately schedule an appointment you should hear back with availability within the next few days. also the county says within the next few days they plan on creating some walkup availability at a few of their vaccine sites. one in richmond and one in bay point. possibly more in the coming weeks. reporting live this morning in concord, matt boone, abc 7 news. >> thank you. starting tomorrow the state
