has ways to support the victims of abuse. go to the vaccine supply is taking another cut in the next two weeks. six days away from the state expanding eligibility to millions of californians. the timing is tough. public health officials are concerned that the drop could help the state plans to reopen the economy in june. stephanie sierra is live, tonight, with new numbers from the state. >> california currently has 5 million doses for the next two weeks. it is the state incoming supply from the federal government that counties are concerned about. that allotment is being cut right around the same time most people will become eligible. >> reporter: it has been close to 3 weeks since the governor promised vaccine supply would be available to all californians by late april. >> we continue to not be close to where we need to be.
4:03 pm
>> reporter: the vaccine supply will be shrinking. starting next week, the number of doses is dropping 15% from 2.4 million doses doses. another 5% drop is expected the following week. >> it is disappointing because, we have been told, for many months, don't worry, by mid april, you will have as much vaccine as you need. and that is not the case. >> reporter: she explains ucf partnered city run sites have the capacity to administer 5000 to 7000 shots per day, but have consistently been waiting for supply increases to meet that goal. next week is no different. >> we are receiving about what we received the last week. >> reporter: the drop is coming at a critical time. >> next week, on april 15th, there will be no restrictions, -- >> reporter: next thursday, nex california is expanding eligibility. there were roughly 18 million
4:04 pm
people in the state that have yet to receive a shot. yet, the current supply is around 5 million doses. >> the more people get vaccinated, the quicker we can turn the page. >> reporter: will that turn the page to reopen by june? we are hopeful to have the answer by may. >> we really did not think it would be raining vaccine, that we would be swimming in vaccine, hopefully, for pfizer and moderna, we will have larger quantities coming into california. >> reporter: yes, the month of may will be key on reevaluating our reopening timeline. if the supply continues to shrink, we are told that the june 15th reopening date could be pushed back. like others, she is staying cautiously optimistic. >> okay, stephanie, thank you very much. pfizer is asking for emergency authorization to give its covid-19 vaccine to
4:05 pm
adolescents ages 12 to 15. the pharmaceutical giant appointed to the phase three clinical trials found the vaccine to be safe and 100% effective for the age group. joining us now to talk about this is a pediatric infectious disease specialist and dr. maldonado, thank you for going on. we really appreciate it. >> thank you. >> let's start with the basics. what does that mean? >> the early data in the press release about 10 days ago shows that in 12-year-olds to 15-year- olds, the vaccine has a robust response in kids. it is really protective against infection. that is good news. we should have a vaccine for 12- year-olds to 15-year-olds very shortly, maybe weeks at the very most. >> doctor, y 12 to 15? why not younger children? >> generally, the way vaccine trials are done, they break
4:06 pm
them down into older kids and younger children. this particular company really started with older kids, 12 to 15. they are moving to other studies, then dose finding studies for 2-year-olds to 5- year-olds, you know, is looking at older kids to make sure the vaccine is safe, then they look for effectiveness in larger studies. >> and moving to the younger children as you go along as research comes back -- let me ask about this. there is always concern about supply. does this create more supply problems? >> well, it could. it could in the short run. obviously, there are a lot of 12-year-olds to 15-year-olds. there are many for kids who are vaccinated. it does open up in addition to the 15th, opening up to 16 and above, maybe, shortly thereafter, it will open up to 12-year-olds and above. remember, that's a short-term problem. in the long-term, we will see
4:07 pm
more vaccine coming in. and more people will be vaccinated by the end of spring. >> dr. maldonado, let's talk about schools. with more vaccines being potentially effective on children allowed to be injected in children, could that affect how soon schools are able to reopen this fall? >> i don't think that vaccination needs to be the lead driver for opening schools. i think schools can open, safely, now, given all the precautions people were taking before vaccines were available and knowing that masking, distancing, hygiene and cleaning -- there have not been outbreaks in a large capacity in a school. this should make it more reassuring to families and teachers. >> and, last last last last las take a 30,000 foot view for me and tell me where we are with the vaccine process, some concern about the johnson & johnson vaccine is not being made because the problems with
4:08 pm
those batches -- where worry -- are we in terms of the vaccine process? >> two points, number one, we do vaccines all the time, especially for children. this is the first time we've tried to make a vaccine for the entire world. four months in, we are not doing too bad. secondly, it's not uncommon to see production issues happen with regular vaccination. it's just that we don't generally track those. the important thing is to make sure the vaccines come out and they are safe. that's what's happening. i mean, a two-week time lag does seem long for us right now, but in the large scale of things, we are doing really well to have three big vaccines that work really well in such a short period of time. i'm very optimistic. >> that's great to hear. always wonderful information, great to see you, dr. maldonado, pediatric disease specialist, thank you for coming on.
4:09 pm
>> thank you. here is more hope for kids, some schools will reopen. 22 schools will reopen and on children back into the classroom on monday for in person instruction. 11 early education sites will also reopen. other school sites will reopen the week after. by april 26th, every student in fifth grade will be back on campus five days a week. distance learning is still an option for families. facebook is converting part of its headquarters to a coronavirus vaccination clinic for underserved communities. the ravenswood family health center will administer vaccines starting tomorrow morning. they also plan to divide transportation to and from the campus for people who want to get vaccinated. facebook employees will not be eligible for the program. appointments must be made through ravenswood. prominent black and latino leaders joined together to encourage members of their communities across california
4:10 pm
to get vaccinated as soon as they can. >> by april 15th, every adult should be able to make an appointment and get the vaccine. it is safe, it's effective, and it's what you can do to protect your health of your family, community, and how we will all get to the other side of this pandemic. >> senator alex padilla joined tony thurman and dolores portal among others for a virtual discussion about the importance of getting inoculated. leaders are trying to get the word out. according to the state, the black population has received 3.3% of total vaccinations so far. blacks make up 6% of the population. latinos -- rather, have received 22% of the total number, making up 39% of the population. so you can see the disparity and why there is concern.

okay, time now for the four at 4:00, no shot, no problem. michael is joining us for the conversation. that is the headline about the california state university's decision to not require students to be vaccinated against covid this fall. a csu spokesperson said that campuses may require groups like athletes to beto be adding that the policies could vary from campus to campus. there is no word yet on the plans for the uc system or other area colleges. who has thoughts on that? michael, what do you think? >> i am a graduate. i don't understand these policies at all. everything i have been reading úabout, they say attorneys are concerned they will be sued. that didn't make any sense. we have one court ruling that says csu is allowed to make students get a flu shot. that's not very far away from
4:41 pm
saying you have to get a covid shot. to keep everyone safe, we ought to say everyone needs to get the shot. by the way, they were partially open. they had to close baclose bacloa again less than two weeks ago because students started getting covid. are we just going to keep doing this and doing this? >> remember at cal, there was an outbreak. they required students to stay inside their rooms. they couldn't go out exercise. >> have at least seen this on campus after campus? as soon as you relax standards, kids start spreading it again. >> somebody can sue the school for not providing an environment where everyone is being vaccinated. >> why is this a battle? commuters can attest to this. bay area traffic is looking a lot like it did before the pandemic. data collected by the san francisco chronicle shows that five of the bay area bridges registered 90% better than the
4:42 pm
pandemic levels last month. here's how it looks on the bay bridge, pretty clear, should be noted that the data does not reflect the impact of the drop in bart and fairy ridership as well as casual carpooling along the bay bridge. what an effect an effect an effn i can tell you, anecdotally, coming to the city every day, i have definitely seen the traffic increase, today, in particularly. it looked like a highway. spencer, you drove in as well. >> i'm seeing the same thing you're seeing. traffic seems to be almost at pre-pandemic levels, especially going out in the evening. i have noticed heavy traffic getting to the bay bridge. i don't know how you square that with the fact that so many people are still working from home. who is doing all this driving? >> have you seen it out about?
4:43 pm
>> i have. i live in the city. my neighborhood usually has empty streets. it's unbelievable. there's plenty of street parking. everything is already back. even here in the city, it is absolutely -- >> that's the part of getting back to normal. >> can i just asked, where are you all going? >> elon musk knows how to generate attention, right? it appears he's done neural link has shown a 9-year- old named pager playing pong six weeks after having a neural link landed on each side of his brain. the devices can read brain activity which is run by a computer. the implants allow him to keep playing. the company hopes the technology will help people with paralysis use a smart phone with their mind faster than someone using films. that is really promising. this is so impressive.
4:44 pm
michael? >> brave new world. >> yeah, i think it's amazing. i'm just like, oh my goodness, can you imagine the freedom this gives people? then you say, where are the scientific papers? there are not that many coming out of this organization. i know there is one paper, let's see the others before we get to it. >> that's a good point. spencer? >> i'm fascinated watching the video. michael is right. did you say papers? >> that will, no doubt, come. this technology is ever more available and being developed. it's a sign of things to come whether it's 10 or 20 years down the road. a sign of normalcy is about to return to cosco. according to cnn, costco's beloved food court known for pizza and inexpensive hotdogs is coming back to life.

more and more stores are bringing back tables and chairs to outdoor seating areas. many plan to resume indoor seating as well. they are said to be expanding menus. shoppers will see the return of staples, but they will be doled out by a plexiglass station. it is coming back. every time i am in cosco -- i have had some of the food, and it is pretty good, it is just packed. you know, like u2 is performing. have you guys tried this? >> i love going to cosco, even though i know it's always going to be difficult to park, i never take the food samples, though. even pre-pandemic days, something about a food sample being handed to me that says, let the next person -- >> the next person is me. give me all of that. >> sometimes, i skip dinner. michael, have you tried that stuff? >> when i was a young reporter,
4:46 pm
we had a photographer who would say, i'm going to lunch. we would go out to cosco. we would get all the free stuff. we would get a hot dog and a coke, i think it was a buck 25. that's my memory of cosco. >> i am with you. the free samples are nice. >> i know. i don't think it's much more than that, michael. i think it's a dollar 75 or a dollar 50 for the hotdog and coke. >> what i love about cosco, you could get great deals on high- end it's okay that you don't want to be first: you aren't. second covid vaccine. it's okay to have questions:
