just a little bit. you mentioned a 30 day period where people can withdraw their signatures. what are the next steps? what happens after that? >> reporter: right. people can withdraw their signatures, then there is a lot of paperwork that needs to happen, sort of another 30 day period where lawmakers get together to figure out how much this is going to cost, because this is millions of dollars, by the way, then they will decide it's unofficial go. the lieutenant governor in this case will then set a date for the recall election will likely be 60 to 80 days after that. it is likely late summer or fall that we go to the polls, dion. >> that is the beginning of a long process. many thanks to you. as liz mentioned, we are taking a look back as well as the 2003 recall of when governor gray davis happened, the only successful one in state history. our abc7 originals documentary, total recall, looks at everything from the surprise candidates to the rise of

keep your distance, and get vaccinated when it's your turn. santa clara county. stay strong. spread hope. , moving forward, finding solutions, this is abc7 the white house is sending aid to india as the country deals with an explosion of covid cases. a troubling number of americans don't want the vaccine at all. andrew denver it has the latest from washington.
4:30 pm
>> reporter: new developments on the covid vaccine front, the white house announces that the u.s. is set to release 60 million astrazeneca doses to other countries. >> astrazeneca is not authorized for use in the united states. we do not need to use it in our fight against covid over the next few months. >> reporter: in india, they were ravaged by a wave of infections, hospitals were forced to turn away patients. there wasn't enough hospital beds to treat the sick. president biden spoke with the prime minister about u.s. support to help fight the pandemic. the white house is set to deploy vaccine materials and ppe to india as the health system reaches the brink of collapse. >> at india's request, we are providing oxygen and related supplies. >> reporter: the johnson & johnson one dose shot is back in business after an 11 day pause due to blood clots in some people who received it. the vaccine was never linked to the clots, but it comes with a fax sheet after the cdc found
4:31 pm
out of 8 million doses of the j&j vaccine, only 15 women suffered from incredibly rare blood clots. dr. anthony fauci tells americans that the benefits far outweigh the minimal risks. >> we looked at it, now let's get people vaccinated. >> reporter: vaccinated is not without challenges. one poll finds that 73% of those not yet vaccinated say they will not take the j&j shot, and nearly a quarter of all americans surveyed say they don't want to get a shot at all. andrew denver, abc news, washington. it is time to welcome a member of our own vaccine team, that is dr. a local patel who is taking time to join us, this afternoon. you are looking pretty good for a new dad, somebody's sleeping in your house. >>
4:32 pm
really good lighting. >> okay, all right. on a more serious note, we just saw the story about india. the numbers are really terrible, 350,000 new cases per day, 3000 deaths on a daily basis, running out of oxygen, obviously, the u.s. is going to help, but it shows how difficult this will be to contain covid-19, worldwide. >> larry, absolutely. and you mentioned the case rate. we are at 320,000 cases per day over a seven-day stretch. this is also a cautionary tale. if we look at january and february, india was doing remarkably well given the situation with the population. there was about 10 to 12,000 cases per day. this goes to show you what can happen if the proper measures aren't in place and vaccines are getting out at a global level. in addition to the fact that united states and other countries will be donating therapeutics, we need to get those vaccines out there, yesterday, because when a vaccine gets to india, that's still not going to provide immunity right away. that will be several weeks after. i'm hoping people not only look at this as a case for global
4:33 pm
vaccine equity, but as a real urgency that we need to protect one another. >> just the logistics of to vaccinate over 1 billion people are mind-boggling, very challenging. we are expected to get new guidance, tomorrow, on wearing masks outdoors, plus what you can do if you are fully vaccinated plus not vaccinated. what are you expecting to hear? >> i'm expecting to hear that there will be clear-cut guidelines, you know, you can go ahead and take the mask off if you are outdoors, especially if you are vaccinated, but also within certain areas, you know, perhaps if you're walking at the embarcadero, you can take your mask off if you are not in a crowded area. it does not make sense to me if you see people outdoors at a restaurant next to packed tables with their masks off because you're in a restaurant, but you have to wear it if you're walking alone on a trail, you know, also, as a good signal, the recommendations match the science. we know that 10% of reported
4:34 pm
cases, according to a previous study, were actually outdoors. you are more likely to get covid indoors and outdoors as well. when we send that kind of signal, it boosts public confidence of the vaccine working. people are saying, why should i get vaccinated? if i still have to wear a mask, physically distance and everything -- the transparency and upgrading the communication of what people can do will really help. >> we are getting closer to summer. that means kids possibly going to summer camp. what will that look like, year? >> reporter: it means i will not be sending my kid to summer camp, she is six days old, not yet. hopefully, this provides consistency and guidelines. i know a lot of parents are looking towards this. i know we have enrichment activities for kids, socially, physically, emotionally, if you look at the guidelines really encompassing things that are
4:35 pm
not surprising -- multiple layers of protection, hygiene, masks, all of it, to hopefully get kids out to these activities, but remember, we still have vaccines -- this goes to show that the same measures we are using to keep our kids safe are very important. >> finally, you saw the abc news story, still, 25% of people are reluctant to get a shot or get their second shot because of a concern of side effects. how much of a problem is this going to be to get a herd immunity? >> it is a limiting factor to get to herd immunity. 30%, 40%, especially in certain demographics, not only at the communication issue, we need to reach across party lines, religious lines, economic lines, and cater to people and help them understand why it is so important to get the vaccine, and also, what can happen if we did below a protected level. we could see another outbreak. we could go right back to where we don't want to be. i will join the bandwagon.
4:36 pm
i hope certain republican leaders such as x president trump go out and make a psa and reach out to people who listen and trust these people to say, you need to get the vaccine. this is not about being republican, limo -- liberal, democrat, whatever. >> we will see if that happens. take off the tying get back to take off the tying get back to the attention, california. new federal funding of $3 billion is available to help more people pay for health insurance — no matter what your income. how much is yours? julie and bob are paying $700 less, every month. dee got comprehensive coverage for only $1 a month. and the navarros are paying less than $100 a month. check coveredca.com to see your new, lower price. only at covered california. this way to health insurance.

all right, time now for the four at 4:00. drew is joining us. american tourists could be welcome back to europe again. european officials say they are welcoming americans back this summer. that will depend, of course, on the status of the pandemic on both sides of the atlantic. at this point, it is not clear whether all u.s. tourists would need to show proof of vaccination, or if a negative test is enough. it has been more than a year since the eu restricted travel to contain the coronavirus. drew, at first, i thought that might have been where spencer was. he goes to italy every year. i thought he hightailed it out of here. >> he is waiting to go. i am waiting to travel. i can't wait to explore other countries. what i am worried about is this rush that everyone is going to have when it is the summer or the fall to go travel, then all your prices are going to
4:40 pm
skyrocket, right? >> that's right. not to mention, once you get to europe, i have questions if things will be opened. >> yeah, that's a good point if you can't go to stonehento even though that's like an indoor place -- >> she is yearning >> yeah, it would be great to travel. it also comes down to personal comfort level. yeah, like you said, what might even be open? >> there are still so many questions. >> i have a feeling people will wait this summer and want to go next summer in mass, and that's going to be a mess. but, and alaska state lawmaker says her commute to the capital north of anchorage now involves a ferry ride through canada, and there is a reason for this. one senator used to fly american airlines to work but she has been banned by the
