today the fda granted full approval of the pfizer covid vaccine for those 16 and up, making it the first to be fully licensed in the u.s.. this is a historic moment in our fight against the coronavirus. president biden: together we have made significant progress in seven months. we just have to finish the job with science, facts and confidence. >> with full approval it's easier for businesses, school districts and government agencies to require vaccinations. new york city issued a vaccine mandate for school staff. the pentagon immediately announced it will press ahead with plans to require members of the military to get their shots. and there is hope that the fda's full approval will encourage people who are hesitant about whether the vaccine really is safe to get. >> ar-15 -- a topic that our reporter is looking into. stephanie, let me start with you

. what could full approval change, even for people who have already been vaccinated? >> experts say pfizer's full approval will be a game changer in terms of opening the door for or vaccine mandates. while san francisco led the way even before this announcement today, there isn't expectation companies, universities and organizations across the state will now follow suit. pfizer's covid-19 vaccine, now being marketed, is the first in the nation to receive full approval from the fda, opening the door for a new wave of vaccine mandates. >> my initial reaction was joy. >> it's an exciting step in the right direction. >> it opens the door wide open for vaccine mandates. >> san francisco was the first major metropolitan city to issue a vaccine mandate for employees at restaurants, bars and gyms. will a statewide mandate be next? we asked mike, who sat on

california's vaccine advisory board. >> why not mandate the vaccine? people who don't get vaccinated and then go out without masks are no different than drunk drivers. and we have laws against that. >> given the federal stamp of approval, with careful review of safety and efficacy, it will give confidence to put this on a wider scale to scale it up. stephanie: abc 7 reached out for further clarification on what additional requirements may follow but have yet to hear back. several bay area counties have indicated they are exploring the possibility of a mandate but have not issued a formal decision. >> i think my name in the fda approval will get us in the right direction. stephanie: san francisco chamber of commerce at companies and businesses not included in the county mandate are now requiring vaccinations for the approval. the mayor tweeted the same, adding appointments are

available at assess.gov/get vaccinated. >> it gives us a lot -- at fx.g ov/get vaccinated. stephanie: she expects full approval will be next as clinical trials are wrapping up. >> i think they are just behind because they started their trials later. stephanie: it's important to note pfizer is under emergency use for 12 to 15-year-olds, but not to younger children. dr. maldonado said it's likely the doses for children under 12, once authorized, will be lower. any regular dose may create more fevers or immediate side effects. another important aspect of pfizer's full approval is addressing vaccine hesitancy, especially in communities disproportionately affected by the virus. abc 7's news reporter is digging into that. luz: there are multiple factors in vaccine hesitancy amongst the

african-american community and latino community. one is mistrust of government and misinformation spreading on social media. another is religious reasons and safety. this tackles the safety aspect that many were waiting for. for the science community, it's a milestone. for those holding off to get vaccinated, today's approval is what they were waiting for. >> that barrier is removed. luz: the fda reviewed six months of pfizer safety data. so far, more than 200 million doses of the vaccine have been administered. over 40 million in california alone. epidemiologists dr. rutherford has seen this as a necessary step to address safety concerns. >> the amount of data, the amount of scrutiny has been intense. and i think that there is, you know, we know what we are going to know. i don't think there is more for us to know. luz: we pn.

he said he was waiting on more data to get vaccinated. today, instead of only getting a covid test, he was considering the vaccine. he is not alone. based on the latest that -- state data, pacific islanders, blacks and latinos are among the minorities with the lowest vaccination numbers. nearly 45% of latinos in california are unvaccinated. what is it that's holding them back? >> their religious beliefs. in some other ones that really were holding out for that full approval of the vaccine. luz: 47% of blacks in california are unvaccinated. hoping to bridge the gap, the african-american faith-based coalition is bringing the vaccines to churches. >> the fda approval is not the main concern for the reason they are not taking the vaccine. they are concerned in terms of mistrust of the government. luz: another vaccine vaccine hesitant is young adults. 50% of young adults nationwide are holding off for safety

concerns. do you believe young people will be influenced i the inconvenience of not being vaccinated or the fact that the fda approved the vaccine today? >> the fact that the fda fully approved the vaccine today will be a big factor. but i think the rules and regulations will also sway a significant amount of young adults. luz: another concern attributing to the vaccine is the long-term effects. dr. rutherford doesn't believe there will be any long-term effects of the vaccine. he says the mrna vaccines don't enter the nucleus of the cell, therefore, they don't propagate or get into the dna. larry: thank you. luz is a member of our abc 7 news vaccine team. our team is taking your questions. good abc 7.com/vaccine and click on the big blue box to ask your question. ama: today we spent the entire

half answer speaking with you cfs infectious disease doctor, dr. monica. it is for people 16 and up. she explained how soon the vaccine could be approved. >> the 12 to 15 year old pfizer vaccine is still under eua. that is because we got it for adults back on december 14, 2020. and we only got the eua for 12 to 15-year-olds around may 10. remember that it has been -- we need longer term safety data to fully approve. in its fair to give more time for 12 to 15-year-olds. it will need approval in november. for five to 11-year-olds, it will be eua and around october. larry: eua is emergency use authorization. more than 221 million or 22 point one million californians are fully vaccinated. that's 56% of the states entire

population. california's seven-day test positivity rate has dropped to 5.4%. last week's low was 6.1. so, improving. and■barth hit a milestone, carrying more than 100,000 riders on a single day. that is the highest number ever. ama: the city of anousha is considering breaking with solano county and mandating masks indoors for everyone, regardless of vaccination status. it's a popular move for some people, not so much with others. here is the story. >> officially recall of anousha. officially we could call it 3% land. that is how it has compared with solano county, which has the highest covid rate in the bay area. his 3% good enough? the mayor says, no. >> i am frustrated. we are back at a point where we were a year ago and in the

country, and the state, if everybody had been vaccinated, if everybody was wearing a mask, we would have this in the rearview mirror. >> tomorrow they will discuss re-implementing indoor masks. the only city in solano county to do so. as everywhere else, it is controversial. >> if we can all eventually build up antibodies to the virus, just like the flu, eventually it will dissipate. >> you don't believe the sayings? >> not really. >> solano is the only bay area county to not have an indoor mask mandate. it also has a 20% infection rate in the past seven days. the public health director blames the spread on social interactions. >> there is no questioned -- question that when a other public health directors are saying one thing in our public health director is saying something opposite, that you have to ask the question why. >> local business owner said

they would appreciate a mandate because it would add teeth to their existing policies. but they face a tough crowd. >> if the data does not support it, i'm not for it. >> we will see what happens at the city council meeting tomorrow night. in benicia, wayne freedman. larry: for people lost their homes after a fire broke out. firefighters arrived at the hillview avenue building within minutes after getting the call before 5:00. there is significant damage to the home. one patient was transported to a local hospital with a minor injury. >> they were able to make access click, but there was a lot of fire when they arrived. took a little bit of action time to get things under control. larry: firefighters are letting the house cool down before they go in. no word yet on what started the fire. now to a warning for parents. a grief stricken father reach out to us at abc 7 news, asking
