officially eligible for the vaccine shot today, the states might turn site has been upgraded in order to handle the influx of appointment stephanie sierra is live and tracking it for all of us. stephanie, how is it going with the website? >> challenging, we have been on it all day, in fact we have a whole team on it. i have been working with my colleagues lindsay and adam, and just a few minutes ago, adam found two opponents available, in napa county within 15 seconds, they were gone. >> it is vaccination, meaning every eligible californian can get, can now access the administration. >> reporter: as 60 million californians become eligible for the vaccine, the state limited supply has left a slim opportunity to snag a spy. abc7 has searched the states might turn site, and other

sources like vaccine fighter, to find every available vaccine in the county. we have had no luck. >> i am concerned about people who need the vaccine the most. they may now get trampled over. by the rest of the population. >> reporter: mike wasserman sits on california's vaccine advisory committee, the committee met this week to discuss the safe progress, prioritizing efficacy. the goals are falling short. >> we will not take our eye off the ball. >> it is one thing to say you are prioritizing, and it is another thing to actually execute. >> reporter: according to california's latest equity metrics, 37% of the states healthiest populations are fully vaccinated. whereas that percentage for that states poorest population, is only 23%. >> the folks in the most underserved areas have been lagging behind. >> reporter: the only solution lies on vaccine supply, they received 4 million doses this week, a slight increase. >> there is confidence, or lack

of confidence that we will have a good amount of vaccine. there have been concern that the johnson & johnson pause may have an impact, but it is only represented on 4% of the vaccine here in california, so that really shouldn't be a problem. so long as we continue to get a good amount of magenta and pfizer. >> reporter: the governor anticipates pfizer and magenta will be lively available may. >> i don't care where you get it, i want you to get it. i don't care how you get i want you to get it. >> we are live with you, linda, we are tracking both the states might turn site and vaccine fighter, as upper we found 50 pharmacies with a 25 mile radius, of san francisco, that are reporting a limited number of pfizer doses the butt if all 50 of us pharmacies have no appointments or, it won't help. april 17th at 10:18 a.m., saturday, saturday april 17, at

10:18 a.m. great work adam. a fluid situation, we are tracking every single county in the bay area, and sometimes, every once in a while we will get an appointment like that, so we will keep tracking, larry, back to you. >> i am sure that appointment is a gone already, stephanie freid we will check back with you at 5:00. moving on, governor ducey was visiting a community vaccination site, in one of the hardest hit places on the coast today. abc7 news reporter spoke with the governor at a small catholic church. >> reporter: the familiar white vaccine tents popped up at the lady of the rosary church in union city, as a governor spoke with those in line. vaccinated, local officials, about the challenges of talking people into getting a shot. >> we have now lifted that burden, that anxiety.

around age and conditions. and a veiled every californian, 16 and older, the opportunity to get those axes. >> reporter: the governor says 49%, virtually half of californians have already gotten at least one shot. and he said the key to getting more shots in arms, our small community clinics, like this one. folks here on the ground told the governor it is not so easy to get people past their vaccine hesitancy, or indifference. >>'s we're knocking on my door, but some people don't want to hear about the vaccine, you know? and some people who are very aggressive that we want to give them information. most don't want to because they don't want more than one dose. >> reporter: even though the j&j vaccine is on hold be cause of a possibility of blood clots , the governor said -- >> currently, 20% of the sequenced

cases are the uk. , and these are a race against the variance. the race against mutations. >> reporter: they will intensify the campaign to convince people. >> we want to make sure people get the message at the pulpit or at home, at front doors. that will convince people to think about getting vaccinated. >> reporter: in east bay, i am leslie brinkley, abc7 news. while appointments have been open to people 16 and older, there are still people who are not comfortable enough to get one. this interactive map, or actually you can find it at abc7 news.com, we do have it after all, this interactive map shows that as many as one third of adults in some areas of the country report hesitancy of getting the vaccine. this is data from the census bureau survey. in the bay area, the llano county has the highest percentage of people hesitant to get the vaccine that is at

11%, the lowest is san francisco county were 7% of people said they are hesitant. >> was pregnant back in dr. wasserman, dr., first thanks for your time. let's begin with the statewide expansion of vaccinations, i don't know if you can see the video at the top of the newscast, but long lines and challenges at getting a pointless, so in general, we are early in terms of 16 and up, but how is it going? >> the biggest concern, larry, is that as people rush to try to sign up some people will get frustrated, and other folks who really, desperately still need to get the vaccine, those folks will be missed. those who are vulnerable. what will happen to them? so, i imagine that we will continue to have concern that in the haste, to vaccinate as many people as possible, we are going to exacerbate the problem

of getting the people who need the vaccine the most, fully vaccinated. >> let's talk about pfizer and the news today, regarding a possibility of getting another shot after 12 months. was this generally expected in the medical community? >> absolutely, actually i am glad to hear them start talking about it, because we need to start planning now. because, again, when you want to get folks like people who live in nursing homes or assisted living facilities, we got them vaccinated in december and january. most likely, we are going to be having to prepare to vaccinate them this coming december or so. and we will know a little bit more about that, as we get closer. >> how about johnson & johnson, when do you think they will start up again? assuming that everybody checks

all the boxes and says these are isolated incidents with blood clots, and we feel it is safe to move on? >> from everything i have read and heard, i don't think the delay will be that long, the risk is still comparably very low. compared to the risk of the virus itself. >> okay, just, expertise here, and advice, because i am sure you have been in the situation, but i have a family member who has been debating the merits of getting the vaccine. we had a conversation just going around and around and around. because he is adamantly against it. what is the best case you can make for somebody who is on the fence? >> you know, i think, i try not to browbeat anyone or shame them into getting the vaccine. i think the keypoint is that we have tremendous data that the vaccine is safe, number one. and, number two, especially for some young, it may be not as much a risk of getting sick, and by getting the vaccine they are protecting their older

loved ones. or their loved ones who have health conditions. because i don't think anyone wants to get this virus and gave it to someone they care about. and have them succumb from the virus. so, that, to me, continues to be my number one point to encourage folks to get the vaccine. >> is a great point, dr. wasserman, thanks for your time as always. we appreciate it. if you have questions about the vaccine, the process, maybe you are wondering about it, you can add our vaccine team, go to abc7news.com/sing, we also have articles on how to register . the allegheny county fair will be back, today organizers announced the fear is being moved from its traditional date in june and july, to the fall, october 22nd and through october 31st, to be exact. officials do anticipate guests will be allowed to prepurchase

>> if it is reported, it can be used in that place, so reducing the trauma of the child by not having them to relive that trauma over again and again. writing the number of assault crimes against the children was 481 percent increase over incre previous year. there is concern the number will rise in the years ahead. >> as we get back to normal, sadly there will be more children reporting physical and sexual abuse. >> reporter: district and ernie rosen and a child advocate said that is because children during the pandemic didn't have access to trusted adults were comfortable to confide in. the new santa clara county center will provide especially trained comfort dogs for children to play with, and to cuddle. that underscores how the focus will be on a comprehensive approach to attend to a child's physical, mental, and emotional well-being. in san jose, david louis, abc7 news. the senate is expected t vote next week on a bill

moving forward, finding solutions, this is abc7 news. it is no secret, all you have to do is look around. natural disasters are proving to be more and more devastating, with costs regularly climbing into the billions. with the help of national geographic, our abc 7 news meteorologists are teaming up with abc owned stations all across the country, for an earth day special. right now, is the peak. >> in 2020, over 58,000 wildfires burned 10.3 million acres in the united states. that is the most acreage impacted in years, and nearly ú california. the story of fire in california is twofold. on the one hand it is about drought and disagreements over the management of dead trees and brush in california's vast forests. on the other hand, it is

millions of people living in what is called the urban wildland interface. that means, for nearly 3 million californians, one in 12 homes come with a wrist. wildfire. >> this brush fire quickly spreading in the county. >> this fire is so immense. >> in napa county three fires are burning, all have 0% containment. >> raging with about 300 people close. >> the most dramatic thing we have seen in southern california as far as climate change, has been the extension of the fire season. it is three, four months longer than it used to be, just 25 years ago. in 2070, california has paths, it can become an increasingly dangerous state to live, where you see it as much more dangerous, stronger and longer fire seasons. you can see drought and real crises around water, or you

could say california in 2070, that is vested in resilient infrastructure. that has created a fire resistant infrastructure, and has used water wisely. so that everyone, across the state, has access to water and safety from fires that they need to grow as communities. >> the heat, the heat was just incredible. the wind was blowing downhill at us, as we were there, at least 40 miles per hour, and sometimes it would stop and pull air backup and trees would explode well out ahead of the flames. and that we were surrounded, it was going to cut off our road. >> between tara's family and mine, we lost six out of nine homes. >> since the beginning of the 20th century, california has seen an average increase of 2 degrees fahrenheit, with the

summer of 2020 being the hottest on record. combine that with shorter, drier rainy season, and santa ana wind events in the south, it creates the perfect storm. wildfires throughout california. >> water has always been a battle in california, we depend on this year, we depend on the rockies for water in california. and, during climate change, almost every single model, the american model, that we look at, shows the climate of california is going to be drier. we will have periods of very heavy rain, with atmospheric rivers, flooding, filling reservoirs, but overall, the climate models show drought. less water, for california, and that is going to be a major problem in this state. whether is it the only reason for these intense wildfires, a great majority of our forest

has died when we don't get in a precipitation, the trees don't get the water they need. they become stressed or weekend, and their natural ability to resist pestilence is suppressed. then, when you have a natural process that comes along, it starts natural wildfires, the prolific spread is exacerbated by the fact that the great percentage of the forest is already dead. >> we used to have somebody areas burned frequently in the past, and lightning strikes can cause indigenous body. but we put a stop to this. >> one of the things we are currently looking at, is removing all of the dead, vesalvage value. then go in and start replanting, put trees in the ground for a couple years and then create a strike fire zone. let this come back as a more resilient area. when the fire impacts those areas, you see, right?

>> so, we are rebuilding our home, in the same spot and the same field and the same idea as it has been for the last 115 years. people, they needed to see that it would be rebuilt, and they would still have that community help. we love this place, and it is certainly worth rebuilding, and we are going to do it. >> this looks like a great show, you can see the full special, our america, climate of hope, this saturday. it airs at 9:00, right here on

there's lots to love about california. so put off those chores and use less energy from 4 to 9 pm when less clean energy is available. because that's power down time. we are on vaccine watch, looking out for you. once again let's get another check with stephanie sierra, who is live, once again, from the newsroom. >> i have got to say, these appointments are tough. and the states myturn website has expanded capacity, adding 300,000 new appointments per hour, that was the goal. but, it certainly looks like

all of those were taken over night and early this morning, adam, had just found two opponents in napa, and upon clicking when it was gone within 10 seconds. same story that we reported just about 30 minutes ago. we are seeing a lot of these appointments sporadically pop up as they are very scarce. now, lindsay is looking on vaccine finder, which has been a great resource and aggregates all the pharmacy locations within a 25 mile radius of our location. so far, we see pfizer's stock in all of san francisco locations, but no appointments. we will keepe e on and keep yosira, abc 7 news persistence pays off, u and clicking away. licking ay time now for the 4 at 4:00, pfizer ceo said people will likely need a third shot of the covid vaccine wiwi and maybe booster shots in

later years. so, we are not really over this, or anywhere close. vaccine sites have been packed, people at's center in san francisco, have been piling up observation time, stickers that is the time you can be released, after 50 ministry because of possibly needing a booster, if you go anywhere else, feel free to ditch the sticker or keep it for in memory, as well, if you want. put it in a scrapbook. one thing you should put in your pocket, is don't put your vaccine card up there. somebody will do it, there is no question. everybody will see i was here, and then you are out of luck. seriously, what is your thought about going through this again? and maybe a third shot required? >> honestly, i heard the news i was like hey, whatever we have to do. it is not that big of an inconvenience, and it is difficult to get an appointment, but once you get an appointment, do it. it is ideal that we could get

vaccinated, maybe get our booster and then just be just b that is the kind of world would want to live in. where we are just, we are done, move onto the next thing. but if that is what we have to do to stay safe, what is another shot? that is what i think, personally. >> i feel exactly the same way, i totally agree. we get flu shots every year, those of us who get them, so if it comes to having to get the vaccine booster every year, i am in. >> totally, a small price to pay for overall health, that is for sure. moving on, a group of democrats began an effort to try to expand the supreme court. legislation led by massachusetts senator ed markey and others would sip expand mbom is now the effort appears dead on arrival, though, as nancy

pelosi said she has no intention to bring it to the floor. and, as with anything having to do with politics, i am always very skeptical at the motivation behind certain things. i feel like this is something that i would really have to learn the ins and outs of, before commenting, i guess, in an educated way. >> in an educated way? the supreme court justices are really over, their work is incredible. i know people who have clerked for them, and it is a huge workload. so, parting with partisan politics, it would relieve the workload for some of the justices if there were more to handle the load. and, we could use a little diversity of background on the court as well, you know that six of the nine justices are catholic, and one was raised catholic but is not episcopal. so now, maybe if we add some justices it might get varying points of view and diversity,

and could help make better law. >> you know this is going to turn, if the actually do bring some legislation for, it is going to be a huge democrat against republican battle. you can see where all of this is going. a huge day for disney fans, tickets for reg of dieynd rnia advtuat 8:00, but people began waiting at 6:30 in a virtual queue on disneyland's website, before it actually opened the virtual waiting room. right now tickets are only available for california residents, the price will be opened april 30th, and of course, disney is the parent company of abc7. so, when is baby girl going see disneyland? >> hopefully, sue. i am not one of those in the virtual queue, super early, but i am definitely going to be checking and try to get a spot, hopefully.

collected our diverted from going into the landfill. we collect crayons from all over , we have gotten them from as far away as japan and australia, but the bulk of it comes in from the states. schools, by far, are the biggest collectors of crayons. girl scout troops, boy scouts, doing eagle scout project, restaurants, which, the whole idea started that we were discussing, in different ways to get back. i was coloring, my kids are coming, and we have the conversation about what they did with the crayons that were left on the table. so we asked a which is, we were told that they just get thrown away after every meal. so if we can collect all of these crayons that have been thrown away, it is a free resource we could reuse into something else. to date we have given away about 550,000 packs of crayons.

in the middle of the night, i literally got out of bed at 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning, and looked up crayon recycling. i had to this summer with doing this, i thought how could it not be done after all of these years. to be, about how we could maybe melt these down and turn them into a new crayon, and and then shape it and do anything we want to it. it feels good to keep these things out of the landfill, my main focus when i created this, was to give back to the art. that is very important to me. so i started researching how children's hospital is getting their art supplies, for their pediatric patients. these child life directors had to go out by monday so they could buy crayons. our crayons are more than just a crayon, it is actually an escape for these kids. we talk about the freedom to express themselves, a lot of times these kids are very scared in hospitals. it gives them a way to express

or communicate what they're going through. i drawing it, and not verbalizing the situation they are facing. we started this whole process in our kitchen, back in the day. we sort the crayons by color, from there we will melt down our oven, so we get liquid wax and then we take out the paper. we pour them into the molds, and then we will take all eight colors that we have now made, collate them into new boxes and then we ship them to the children's hospitals. we realized that we need volunteers, we are working in small 4-5 groups of people, up until march 2020, we were running about 400-600 volunteers a month, for our facility. we hear stories about how kids keep their pack of crayons with them throughout the state, but then they take it home with them, because it is the one

good memory they have while there are in the hospital. and then i also received notes from parents who, unfortunately, have lost their child. from whatever they were battling. saying thank you, this is the last time i saw my child smile. it has been really rewarding to hear the stories. >> look at that, it is such a simple idea, but can have such an umbrella effect and touched so many lives. >> yes, very colorful and you never have a bad day when you're playing with crayons. spencer, back in the day, didn't you have a grease board that you did all of the weather on? >> we calculated these with an abacus. >> not that far back. >> here is what is happening tonight, the marine layer is coming back i will push us to a high locally with overnight lows in the 40s tomorrow. a sunny day away from the coast, highs in the mid 50s by the coast but mid-60s around
