modernity was long enough to make the second shot most effective. >> you have more of a spacing between and you can get over your primary reaction within you can get a secondary immune reaction. reporter: you think waiting longer between doses will be recommended moving forward? >> potentially. if we had a slow moving epidemic, it you would not have seen these gaps. you would have seen something longer. reporter: if we had two months between the doses, could we be in a better place, and would vaccine efficacy be higher? he says it is possible and could be recommended down the line. larry: let's talk about the report that came out yesterday, which indicated efficacy dropping from 91% to 66% in the front line workers. did dr. rutherford discuss this? reporter: yes, he stressed the new finding is only being measured against covid

infection, not clinical disease, so his point is if the study focuses on clinical disease, hospitalization, and death, the efficacy drop would not be as significant, but it is still an important warning that vaccine efficacy will drop over time, as the data has shown them and even if you don't get severely sick coming you can spread the virus. larry: we will probably be in line to get more shots down the road. reporter: exactly. liz: at 3:00, we spoke live with a doctor who gave us a broader perspective. >> it is weird optically, 3, 4 shots, and many countries don't have one shot, so that is where i'm sitting, a little discomfort. liz: good point. more than 22 million californians are fully vaccinated, 56% of everyone in

drought makes. these images from santa clara show how a severe lack of rain is impacting reservoirs in santa clara county. on the left, 2017. on the right, this month. it says reservoirs are at historically low levels, 12.5% of capacity overall. the drought is not helping more than 14,000 firefighters battling 12 major california wildfires right now. some of these fires unfortunately our real record-setters. the dixie fire is the second-largest wildfire in state history. it has the potential to eclipse the current recordholder, 730 5000 acres in size. look at that. -- 735,0000000 look at that. liz: it is just massive. we are watching the caldor fire, burning towards lake tahoe to the el dorado national forest.

more than 126,000 acres have burned. it is only 11% contained. highway 50 is shut down for 30 miles between twin bridges and myers because of this fire. smoke from the caldor fire is blanketing the tahoe region. you can see there is such little visibility. this is where you will find the worst air quality in all of california right now. the air is so bad that many visitors are heading home, while others counseled their upcoming visits. that is not a good development for local businesses ahead of the labor day our day we can more than a week from now. >> one of our larger properties in the region is looking at 24 points of occupancy drop for august, based on the cancellations coming in now. liz: tahoe residents say the smoke as part of a new normal for him. the problem is equally bad in reno, we can barely make out the casinos in the distance.

spencer, some friends had a trip planned and canceled it. spencer: the air quality is terrible. let's look now. it was worse in tahoe a couple of hours ago. it was considered hazardous. right now, very unhealthfulhful that is minimal improvement. the bigger picture coming back to the bay area, we are experiencing good to moderate air-quality with the yellow and green indicating good air quality. that is because of the onshore flow we have had for several days. that cooling, cleansing sea breeze will be diminishing tomorrow as we go into a warmer weather pattern. let's look at surface wind speeds. 50 to 25 miles per hour. winds at the surface for the bay area. still cooling at the coast. the air appears to be relatively

clean. it looks blue from this angle, looking across the bay. 61 san francisco. 67 oakland. san jose 73. here is another view of relatively blue sky from the golden gate. 72 santa rosa. napa 71. 84 fairfield. 81 concord. here is a few of not suckling there -- not so clean air. it will get thicker over the next several days as we have a heat wave coming. limited fog were developed overnight. patchy morning drizzle as possible, mainly near the coast. heat spikes in the bay area friday through sunday with hazy in smoky skies, and moderate heat risk inland. overnight, a marine layer will

develop, and it will have of a cooling influence over the next several days. we will see less of a marine influence as we get that heat wave and not much cooling. tonight, mainly mid-50's. tomorrow, the warming trend begins. high temperatures in the upper 60's near the coast, around the bay shoreline, 70's, low 80's. inland, low to mid 90's tomorrow. it will be pretty warm. it will get hotter. here is the seven-day forecast. friday, saturday, sunday, high temperatures at or above 100 degrees. it will be hazy. this pattern brings the risk of heat-related illness outdoors and exposed to the heat too long or engaged in strenuous physical activity. around the bay shoreline, three days in the low to mid 80's. the coast, 70's. a cooler afternoon on monday.

sharply cooler than the pattern on friday, saturday, sunday. tuesday and wednesday next week, high temperatures below average for this time of year. those of the days i'm waiting for. larry: we have to get to them first. in the meantime, heat and smoke. thank you. we all share the road, but the difference between vehicles might be more than you can see. next, it would take

liz: safety technology in passenger cars is not found in many of the commercial trucks we share the road with. there are efforts to change that. we look at what is available to truckers and how its use could save lives. reporter: trucks are the reality is passenger vehicles share the same roads and freeways with trucks, but the playing field is not level. chances are your car has advanced technology, but the truck next to you does not. only 40% of trucks have a road-facing camera. some are trying to change that. >> what we are doing is building edge eight, abilities and

developing algorithms to protect unsafe behavior in the cab for drivers who are distracted, but also in front of the vehicle. reporter: it documents faults for accidents. a study by aaa says it could prevent 63,000 crashes each year. they have installed over 500,000 systems and trucks in the u.s. and canada. it can cost several hundred dollars, but is offset by benefits. >> our customers reduce accident frequency by 30%. average annual premiums for a truck on the road or north of $15,000. reporter: the american trucking organization says there is no industry-wide initiative to promote cameras. operators can evaluate their own needs and solutions. >> we have a goal of zero highway fatalities. to get that, it will be feasible for trucking taking into account

the operational concerns. reporter: while truck drivers may be professionals, technology is available to help them be safer. larry: next, working to build a better bay area and san francisco. a multimillion dollar investment in a hotel property drawing praise from and criticism from . liz: have you ♪ ♪ dry eye symptoms keep driving you crazy? inflammation in your eye might be to blame.
