implement in the rollout locally. we are expecting clinics, mass vaccination sites, and pop-up sites will be up and running as soon as this week. the clock is ticking for california to make the final call on covid booster shots, a decision expected any moment as counties begin rolling out shots starting this week. >> you cff -- rutherford says he expects people will have to show their vaccination card. >> we're are only talking about people and got pfizer vaccines. >> some people who received moderna and the johnson & johnson vaccine were able to get an additional dose but rules will be stricter at county-run sites. >> this is just for pfizer. stephanie: the same is true at the san mateo county event center.

they are reopening the mass vaccination site next thursday, starting with 1000 pfizer dose appointments per day. >> we are expecting when we are running at full capacity to be able to do about 3000 vaccines per day. >> patricia irwin is the operations chief. she explains the drive-thru site will be run similar to the initial rollout with 20 lanes open, 10 on each side of the event center. >> how can people make an appointment? >> deplatform people will register on. stephanie: the state's website is up and running, giving two options to find a walk-in clinic or make an appointment for a third dose. >> we will look at the data for moderna and j&j in short order. stephanie: we have confirmed health officials in marin county will begin administering boosters at the northgate

reasons from the vaccination. as of now, wiggins would be ccatn quhe ansre questions, repg he wanted to keep the issue private. >> definitely my back is against the wall. but, i am just going to keep fighting for what i believe. whether it is one thing or another, get the vaccination or not get the vaccination, who knows? i am just going to keep fighting for what i believe and what i believe is right. what is right to one person is not right to the other, vice versa. >> he is the kind of guy i will stand by, that i will risk being around. i am vaccinated and i have an understanding about this. he has a different understanding but his understanding is something that i respect and i

have a value for how he sees life. >> everyone is in a difficult position in that respect. we have all made decisions that you feel like our right for you, your family. this is no different, whether you agree with him or not. we have to let it play out. >> both head and bob myers spoke but did not say a whole lot. if wiggins does not get vaccinated and this rule stays the way in san francisco for the whole season, he would miss half the season. he is a key player from a basketball standpoint. as you heard the guys, everyone very respectful. a lot of teammates have his back one way or the other. dan: as teammates often do. wiggins is not alone in seeking a religious exemption. more than half of san francisco's on vaccinated police

officers are seeking a religious exemption. how does that exemption work and will cities like san francisco honor it? >> as we near closer to the date bay area cities are requiring city employees to be vaccinated against covid-19, some employees are submitting exemptions. all san francisco city employees are required to be vacci against covid-19 by november 1 unless they are required to be vaccinated on a faster timeline. the department of human resources tells abc news that it has provided an exemption pathway for employees who have religious beliefs or qualifying medical reasons. employees must demonstrate a qualifying medical or religious basis, and the department must be able to provide the employee a reasonable accommodation. the department of human resources writes, "because of the health and safety impacts covid-19 has, the city does not

expect all employees with a basis for exemption can be approved because the possible accommodations would place their coworkers and public safety at risk." it goes further, saying they must demonstrate the idea -- the belief is sincere and religious, rather than secular and scientific. if the accommodation would be costly, infringe on other employees job rights or benefits, compromise work place safety, decrease workplace safety, or require other employees to do their share of potentially hazardous or burdensome work. the employee mandatory vaccination policy which will apply to all city employees including police officers and firefighters is still in draft form. the city is finalizing the language based on input discussions with employee unions. once finalized, employees will have an opportunity to claim a

medical or religious exemption. can request an exemption based on a sincerely held religious belief, practice, or observance. kristen: let's talk more now about religious exemptions, boosters, and mandates with the state's top health mark ghaly. thank you so much for talking with us today. our reporter was just talking about religious exemptions. i believe the state as an employer and policymaker does allow the personal belief exemption for the covid vaccine. will you consider removing it the way i think new york state has he? dr. ghaly: for now, the religious exemption is available and it stands. there is lots of conversation about so many different things. but, at the moment, state employees have the ability to

file a religious exemption and have it honored by the state. those who do get that religious exemption do continue to need to be tested at the regular rate their department or agency at the state requires. so it does allow the exemption out of the vaccine but not out of the testing requirement that could fall on those individuals. kristen: might you also be considering removing the test option to get out of getting the vaccination? dr. ghaly: right now, we are not having that conversation. at the state. we know a lot of employers have and we support what other employers are doing. dr. ghaly: let's talk about the --kristen: let's talk about the pfizer booster. what is the state's plan? is it fully aligning with the booster criteria as for who qualifies and who should get it? dr. ghaly: short answer, yes. our plan is to be ready as we have been with so many parts of

the vaccination rollout over the last many months. we believe we are ready to meet the needs for those who should and even those who may get the vaccine booster. kristen: it looks like we have a good supply and infrastructure in place. i want to get your thoughts on the most contentious part of the cdc's decision. even internally, there was a lot of back and forth, people in higher exposure operations, people from 18-64. do you think those groups should get it? dr. ghaly: i think, first off, not everyone in that group is the same. some got it many months ago. even eight or 10 months ago. others are in the workplace. i think this is going to be a decision among many individuals. that said, if somebody is concerned about their exposure

and underlying health conditions, they may and they should express that right to go get the extra protection and vaccine. kristen: new york state could fire health care workers who do not comply with the vaccine mandate. california's deadline for health care workers to get their second shot i think is coming up in three days. would you consider doing the same, fire people who do not comply? dr. ghaly: we are serious about this mandate, we believe that in our health care environment especially that it is important to create that sense of safety for individuals coming there to advance and protect their health. we are doing all that we can to work with individuals who have yet to be vaccinated but that deadline is a deadline. we will continue to watch it closely and be serious about it. kristen: what about schools? many people say, leaving any school vaccine requirements that

may be coming to the local school boards really leads to the horrible battles it breaks our hearts to see across the state. do you expect the state will mandate vaccines the way you have for polio, mmr, other vaccines. requirements to do what we talked about to keep school safe for students and staff. their neighbors who are experiencing different health conditions and have that same important excess to education. there are a lot of important things within covid that -- at the moment, allowing those local decisions to come up and be considered locally based on decisions that affect those counties and districts, but

help us get through this, get us to the end and protect many californians with vaccines, and that includes boosters, but most of all helping those who have not gotten vaccinated, vaccinated. kristen: that point has not been lost. dr. mark ghaly, california's health and human services secretary, thank you for your time. dan: dramatic rescue. a police officer runs into harm's way to save a driver from a farm -- from a fiery car. a coach accused in the college of mission scandal tells his part of the story. and by the book. a young bay area painter taking the world by storm, now becoming an author as well as an artist. >> does this m m m m m m m m m m

through the haunted house. not surprisingly, the actor was hired. this raises all sorts of questions -- the actor was fired. why would they have a real knife anyway? drew: right. i do think about this when i go to haunted houses -- i love them, by the way -- but you never know, you are, like,, is that real. kristen: i was always scared of haunted houses. so if i were that kid, i would be traumatized for life. dan: we are not getting you into space or to a haunted house. kristen: nope.
