the issue that could affect millions of california teenagers with the cdc poised to authorize covid vaccines for 12 to 16-year-olds will public schools require students to get vaccinated before the fall? good evening i'm ama daetz. >> and i'm dan ashley. thank you for joining us. laura anthony begins our coverage tonight with a look at that question in the east bay. >> reporter: so far governor newsom and state officials have been mum but the superintendent of california's largest district in los angeles has already said, he believes covid vaccines will be required for public school children. much like those for polio and measles. here in the bay area, districts are awaiting guidance from the state. >> it's certainly encouraging to know that the vaccine for 12 to 15-year-olds is on the horizon. but right now it's just too early to tell. >> reporter: meantime the california teachers association is yet to take an official position.

quote the opportunity for students 12 and up to be vaccinated represents another hopeful avenue for getting this pandemic under control and ensuring the safety of our schools, communities and families. >> students are getting covid- 19 and you know it is still spreading. so vaccinations are essential to making sure that we keep our students safe. >> reporter: the university of california and cal state systems both announced vaccines will be mandatory for students in the fall. but at least one bay area infectious disease expert questions whether school aged children who rarely get seriously ill from covid will really need the vaccine by then. >> it is very likely that by the time we get to fall, just like we're seeing already in california and san francisco we're going to have so low cases children aren't going to be exposed because their adults are vaccinated. >> reporter: parents are already considering what they will do. >> obviously by the time she's ready i think it would be long term tests done and i will feel

a lot more confidential with what's happening but also for the protection of everybody else. >> reporter: in walnut creek, laura anthony, abc 7 news. well, meanwhile vallejo high school is now shut down for the rest of the week because two students have tested positive for covid-19. the school district just opened its high school to in person instruction barely two weeks ago. the shut down includes all athletics. 19 days ago the levi stadium vaccination site inoculated 13 people and broke a record for all shots administered in a single day in the state. today the site hit another milestone. 68,500 people fully vaccinated enough to fill every seat in the stadium and it comes as the county is shifting its focus to mobile vaccinations to better reach under served communities. >> reporter: despite a recent decline in vaccine demand there is something worth celebrating today in santa clara county. >> it feels like some normalcy

is going to come back. >> reporter: susan seabero became the 68,500th person to be vaccinated at levi's stadium. enough people to fill every single seat. >> the last time we came here we were inoculated in the locker room and then we got to sit on the field. so i'm very proud to be 68,500. >> and we're very glad for orter:it was less than a three weeks ago that levi's stadium vaccinated 3,000 people in one day. breaking the record for the number of people vaccinated in a single location in

california. but today, less people are lined up. more mobile vaccination clinics are in the works. with walk up and drive spots. professor thomas plant says it's important to make the process as easy as possible while as offering words of encouragement to those who are hesitant. >> there's nothing like having models, like role models like celebrities but models that are closer to home like friends and family and neighbors. >> an effort to spread the word. >> other wise you can get sick, you can get others sick. do it for your neighbor. it's real important. >> reporter: in santa clara, chris nguyen, abc 7 news. today san francisco became

the first bay area county to move into the least restrictive yellow covid safety tier. every other county is orange except for solano county which is still in red. today's move for san francisco county means businesses closed since the pandemic began can reopen and others can expand service. here's a look at what's changes. gyms can increase capacity from 25 to 50%. they can also reopen gyms. >>t always about restaurants and everybody else. it may be a little tougher maybe. i want to make this place work more than i ever have. >> reporter: mayor breed says the willingness of most san

franciscans was the reason for the push. rest rapts hit so hard by the pandemic have fueled a flood of applications for new federal reueund it comes at a critical time with california aiming to reopen businesses by mid-june. certainly a recovering economy is part of building a better bay area. david louis looks at what this grant means to local restaurants. >> in just one hour, 41,000 owners of restaurants flooded the sba to register for grants. the restaurant revitalization fund was overwhelmed when the process opened on monday morning. >> i think the biggest challenges were just technological. there were so many people applying at once there were like error codes. >> reporter: unlike the earlier protection plan these were for smaller operations including food trucks that are not corporate owned. >> it's not just restaurants, it's breweries, food trucks, cafes it's a lot. >> reporter: priority will be given to food operations owned

by women and minorities. it's why they will assume will be depleted quickly. restaurants are only at the mid- way point of the pandemic recovery. >> this is going to last for the restaurant industry at least another year because staffing is going to be incredibly challenging. reopening with debt over the past year is going incredibly challenging. >> reporter: on top of that, food prices are rising and that already has caused some menu prices to go up 50-cents to a dollar. >> i don't know if we're going to see more adjustments we unfortunately probably will. probablily it's the product we have to buy to make the meal keeps going up, right. that includes wine, alcohol and food. >> reporter: however restaurant owners sense their patrons will understand. mindful how some did not survive. >> over the past year when they recognized that wasn't going to be part of their life i think they recognized how much

meant to them. >> reporter: david louis, abc 7 news. boy you talk about a close call. a truck driver managed to jump out of his semi an amtrak train slammed into it. the train was heading toward oakland when the collision happened in brentwood near the orwood resort. a witness says it was all just terrifying. >> we heard the train, trains horns blowing then all of a sudden this big huge collision and parts went flying. >> huge explosion. it sounded like a house had blown up basically. so it was really scary. and like i said, the parts went flying and we didn't know what had hit. >> reporter: emergency crews say they ran into a critical issue at the scene. >> our dispatch advised us that there were no ambulances and

entire contra costa county to respond tat respond at time. >> no ambulances, they have 30 ambulances in the county and they were all on alls. and reporter carlos granda from our abc sister station in los angeles has the story. >> politics, we chose pretty over established. >> pretty boy, pretty boy. >> reporter: john cox says the differences are like beauty and the beast and this is the beast. a live bear roaming around at a cox campaign today. a surreal imagine as he talked about children suffering with newsom's policies. >> who's in charge arge arge ar education? it's not the parents.

firefighters today held a news conference to say that that thah were against the recall. governor newsom was wearing a jacket with the california bear on his chest. voters who signed the recall will have 30 days to withdrawal their signatures but it's not likely to change much. and the recall is expected to happen in november. then it starts all over again because the regular election for governor is in november of next year. i'm carlos granda, abc 7 news. still ahead from a derelict hotel to a start up coliving community. and now the opportunity it could bring everyone to rent one of its rooms for a dollar
