hurt inflammation side effect known as myocarditis. >> the bottom line is getting covid is much riskier to the heart than getting the vaccine. larry: the cdc estimates that for every million pediatric vaccinations, more than 18,000 cases and 80 hospitalizations could prevented. kristen: let's go to reporter leslie brinkley. shots will be available as early as friday, right, in contra costa county? leslie: that's exactly right, realistic expectations is, across the bay area, the pfizer vaccine for children could be available by friday at major health clinics, at pharmacies, but the county itself says they expect to be ready to roll it out by saturday in their clinics. in the rollout is expected to be very rapid. >> i think a lot of people will rush to get the vaccine and that is probably a good idea.

leslie: this pediatrician has been immunizing children in the lafayette area for 30 years. she is fielding lots of calls for parents as the vaccine rollout advances. so what do you hear parents calling, what did they say to you? >> that they are afraid. afraid of the whole thing, afraid of covid, afraid of the vaccine. although there are some who just can't wait. there are plenty of parents who are ready to dial the number and sign their death. leslie: the contra costa county health department expects the rollout to happen rapidly once they get the doses. >> parents can get the vaccines at several locations which include pharmacies throughout the county, health care providers, the large health care providers, and community clinics. leslie: walk-in school-based vaccine clinics are already getting scheduled for next week, with the goal of immunizing children by the holiday season. parents are advised to look for communication from the district in the coming days.

>> some of the west country unified school district, no diablo's school district and a few others. >> i think people who are feeling more cautious could wait a little bit -- not too long, hopefully. i think time will help people who are really worried. leslie: what will it look like? what to expect? much like it is for adults, whether it is a drive-through clinic or a walk in or you set an appointment, i am told appointments are not available yet. officials tell me they expect a big rash in the next couple of weeks, and then some of the people who might be more hesitant after they see things more smoothly, they anticipate that they might more inclined and reassured together children vaccinated -- to get their children vaccinated. the third dose, the smaller pediatric dose for five to 11-year-olds is being shipped out in separate boxes from the adult dose and the vials will have different-colored tops on

them to prevent their being any kind of a mixup. kristen: that's a good idea. did any of the medical experts you talked with mentioned ways to prepare your child to getting the vaccine? leslie: of course. they suggested not telling your child, five to 11-year-old, too far in advance, may be on the day of the vaccine. saying that you will be getting it, reassuring them that they are being brave, that they are helping their community, and in the end, as always, having a toy or treat to offer after the vaccine is always a good idea. reporting live in the east today, leslie brinkley, abc 7 news. kristen: leslie, thank san francisco unified is keeping a close eye on the rollout for children. the superintendent said today that as soon as the cdc gives the green light, the district is ready to get shots into students' arms. >> it has to be approved by the california department of public

health. . as soon as all the approvals happen and the vaccines arrived, we will be ready to begin administering. kristen: the superintendent met with fourth and fifth grade students at accomack's academy elementary school. he answered their questions -- at malcolm x academy elementary school. he answered their questions. 95% of children ages 12-17 are already vaccinated. larry: dr. patel is a member of our very own abc 7 news vaccination team. he is joining us to talk about this. how reluctant you think some parents will be to get their kids that shot? dr. patel: we are worried a lot of parents will be reluctant. previous surveys were showing only 30% would get the kids their shot. hopefully the number went up after seeing these unanimous votes from the nation's experts on reviewing the safety of the vaccines, but i still think there will be parents who need them more convincing.

larry: if people don't know, you are a pediatrician. what are you telling parents that are asking you questions about their kids 5-11? dr. patel: the first thing i am telling them is thank you for asking your questions to me and not some random person on facebook. i commando parents for having questions, i don't care what the question is but i think it is important that parents know that they should ask his questions to someone who will provide evidence. so i am telling parents, this community today, the reason it was unanimous is because they reviewed the data in such detail after the fda subcommittee date as well. . they looked at everything including age group, demographic, epidemiology of the pandemic, and considered that the benefits far outweighed the risks. so we are here for transparency to all parents and making sure they know, asking questions is a good thing. larry:. larry: leslie mentioned it in her story, but to emphasize even more, the dosage for kids is

significantly lower than what you or i would take. dr. patel: it is, it is about one-third lower. 10 micrograms compared to 30. that is important because pfizer is testing out different doses at different age groups, this is not a hail m attempt to reduce side effects. ary they found that those gave the kids the same antibody boosts, but kids in the trial had less adverse effects than older kids, less chances of getting a fever. myocarditis is still rare and in the older adolescents, it would be even rarer, if it even happens at all in kids ages five to 11, because you have one third of the dose. larry: how will this impact the school situation? dr. patel: i am hoping for it to be completely black, i am hoping every eligible child -- to be completely blunt, i am hoping for every eligible child. larry: wow. dr. patel: you said "hoping."

larry: but realistically. [laughter] dr. patel: we think 30% will get it asap. in total, 40% 50% of people eligible will get it quickly. i think we will see a bit of a lag, may be annexed or 20%. but i am realistically thinking we will get 60% or 70% enough to protect kids in certain settings this winter but also people around them who have not gotten vaccinated yet. larry: dr. patel, as always, thanks so much for your time. dr. patel: larry, thank you. kristen: new developments in out of san francisco where it officer is being charged with homicide and on-duty shooting. sean moore was shot by an officer in january of 2017. moore did not die until three years later. today the san francisco district attorney's office announced it was filing multiple charges. the officer is on the left of

holding. reporter: some world leaders are hearing those for. the first time, more than 100 countries committing to reduce methane emissions. experts say greenhouse gas is a big cause of global warming. >> we are committing to collectively reduce methane by 30% in 2030. reporter: president biden is laying out his strategy, announcing the strictest methane standards ever, a new rule 11 the epa to crackdown on the gas industry. >> it will reduce asthma, respiratory emergencies and increase the food supply as well. reporter: the white house also proposing rules for gas pipeline safety and a plan to protect forests. by dan, pushing for clean energy technology innovation. >> i spoke with leaders from island nations, developing countries, and my message to them was united states will be their partner as we meet this climate crisis. reporter: that historic methane pledge announced is a voluntary commitment among the countries that signed on to it.

it does not require any formal proceedings like the ongoing negotiations following the paris climate accord. reena roy, abc news, glasgow, scotland. kristen: so remember, the pledge is to cut methane emissions by 50% by 2030. what does that mean, spencer christian mark spencer: we spoke with experts and they see the problem for methane emission could be in plain sight. when president biden announced the goal of reducing methane emissions, he focused attention on agrees house -- on a greenhouse gas that may not be familiar as the co2 associated with car exhaust. if fact, methane contributors often have hooves instead of wheels -- cows. >> it is the second most important source of methane to the state. 26% of all. spencer: our methane comes from debris. spencer:. she is a researcher at the university of california merced.

she aneagues have been experimenting with a substance made from agricultural syrup known as biochar. that goal is to mix it with manure that is composted into fortaleza across the central valley. in essence, changing the chemistry of how it degrades. >> doing that along that chain also reduces the methane that is emitted as well. spencer: meanwhile, other environmental groups are also zeroing in both on commercial composting, and the massive garbage landfills that. the state. while some have programs to capture escaping methane, others don't. this area captured images of escaping plumes while documenting the location of so-called super eighemeters. com posters are actually some of the largest emitters of methane in california. spencer: david lewis directs the

environmental group "save the bay." he says another solution is improving natural pollution catchers like the salty tidal marshes that surround san francisco bay. >> the salinity in the water really helps keep the methane in the plants, and so they sequester carbon without a meeting methane. spencer: experts say oil production in other industries are also significantly responsible for methane production. rebecca is optimistic that strategies to reduce or recapture methane could cut the levels for multiple industries. >> even when taking about reducing methane emissions from the algae cultural or oil and gas sector --agricultural or oil and gas sector, there are some solutions. spencer: solutions that will need to be put in place. it is important to remember that methane is one of the most attend greenhouse gases,
