the country is especially concerned about the delta variant. johnson and johnson's vaccine is expected to get a new warning. the shot has been possibly linked to an extremely rare nerve condition. it's called guillain-barre syndrome. the cdc says about 100 cases have been reported among the 12.8 million doses of the vaccine given out. most cases involve men 50 and older. most people fully recover from the disease, although some will report long term nerve damage. the highly contagious delta variant is causing covid cases to increase across the country, including here in the bay area. >> our most clicked on story on abc7news.com is about a break through case. sean fruit and his wife decided to go to vegas. they were fully vaccinated and even drove because they didn't feel comfortable flying. now he voluntarily took his mask off while on the trip when they got home to hollister he started to feel sick. they tested positive for covid.
