[ laughter ] there is some good news. you can see there is no real fog. there are marine layer clouds but those aren't going to last very long today except the coast where they will linger longer.

the breezes aren't as fast as they were yesterday. that's what kept the clouds from staying along the peninsula coast. keep an eye on that as you head through some neighborhoods. if you drive into higher elevations, you may run into those clouds. partly cloudy along the coast. 58 at half moon bay. 62 in san francisco. mid to upper 60s around the bay. a little warmer than yesterday but nothing like the record warmth. i will have that coming up. i'm going to turn it over to jobina fortson. sad and serious issues on the road this morning. jobina. i want to start with a live look at the bay bridge. you can see the brake lights as people head up to the upper deck. speeds are crawling, under 10 miles per hour right now. there is a crash right at treasure island. it is blocking one lane. they turned on metering lights early. it is completely packed.

in critical condition. officials don't know if it was the vaccine that caused the disorder. i also want to let you know that health officials believe the benefits of getting vaccinated far outweigh any potential risks. to put this into context with how rare this disorder is, the chance of developing it is less than one in 1 million. you have a higher chance of being hit by lightning. every single county will continue vaccination efforts this morning but without the johnson & johnson vaccine. they have decided to stop using it for now. they say it won't have a significant impact. abc7 reporter amy hollyfield joining us live with more on this morning, amy. >> reporter: hi, good morning, kumasi. there is some scrambling going on to try to make sure they don't cancel any appointments at places like this one, the

fairgrounds here in pleasanton. they have decided to stop using the j&j vaccine. here's what it means in the different counties. contra costa county, they are keeping appointments for now because only a small percentage of the vaccines are johnson & johnson there. the mass vaccination site at oakland coliseum was relying on j&j but it was able to switch to the pfizer vaccine and did not have to cancel any appointments. santa clara county does not expect the change to slow down its plan of vaccinating everyone at 2:00. it looks like the impact will be minimal here in the bay area. >> from a supply-chain standpoint, i don't think it will hinder it as much as i can if it was pfizer our moderna. >> reporter: this also won't be a huge problem in san francisco. of the 10,000 doses the city received, only 500 were johnson & johnson. across the state, 8800 appointments made on the my turn website were set to

receive j&j so those will be switched to moderna and pfizer. in total, the j&j vaccine only made up 4% of the states supply. live in pleasanton, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. >> many women are wondering if this is safe. the rare blood clot disorder appeared in six women. they were 18 to 48 years old. federal health officials are looking into what could be triggering this disorder. >> it is younger women that seem to be at highest risk. there are other risks in the age group. for example, that's when autoimmune diseases start to appear. that's on birth control pills are being used. there may be other factors involved. >> experts say taking a few days to pause and investigate shows that the monitoring system is working. tomorrow, all of california

and 16 and up will be eligible. most of you in the bay area are already there. santa clara and san francisco county have joined solano county in expanding early. santa clara county officials say they made the decision after receiving a big influx of doses from the government. when we are hearing about concerns regarding the supply, that is not the case in the most populous county here in the bay area. >> the county is receiving a lot of vaccines. significant increase is coming directly from the federal government. combined with the increase from the state, we have enough vaccine really to quickly reach the goal of protecting the entire community. >> they announced they would be opening up vaccinations to everyone but they cautioned the supply is limited. starting at midnight, go to myturn.ca.gov to look for an

appointment. as we just mentioned, demand consistently outpaces supply supposed to be patient. a san francisco neighborhood is frustrated after a rash of violent attacks on asian americans. an asian man was stabbed five times over the weekend. dion lamp sat down with him as they address this crisis. this is a story you will only see on abc7 news. >> reporter: how many times was he stabbed? >> five. five times. >> reporter: once in the head? >> once on the chest. >> reporter: 53-year-old chiling lee shows me the stab wounds he sustained as he was walking home from work later saturday. >> i didn't pay attention. the guy that come to attack me -- >> reporter: so fast? >> so fast.
