announcer: building a better bay area. moving forward, finding solutions. this is abc 7 news. larry: covid headlands now. some states are reporting an autumn wave of covid-19 infections, even in areas with high vaccination rates. those states are all adjacent to one another starting from arizona to minnesota. walgreens says it has given shots to more than 200 thousand children ages five to 11, with hundreds of thousands of appointments on the books. and we research shows that vaccines in the u.s. remain highly effective get severe disease and hospitalization, but their protection against infection with or without symptoms, is waning? >> if you think you will benefit from getting a booster shot, we encourage you to get supplies available. there are many sites across the state, thousands available to help provide you your booster. it is not too late to get it
4:30 pm
this week, and get the added protection for the thanksgiving gatherings. kristen: all right. if you are eligible for booster, get a booster. that is the message from california's health secretary. bay area health officials say it is easy to understand why some people may be confused about who is eligible for booster shot. cdc guidelines right now recommend, only people 65 or older or those in certain high-risk categories, or those who live and work in certain places get a booster at this time. but local officials are saying, why wait? dr. alok patel is a member of our vaccine team. he joins us today to clear up some of these confusing points. people are hearing different things. i have a feeling that they are pretty much saying similar things, the messaging is different. so clear it up for us, who should be getting a booster right now? dr. patel: you are right, people are confused right now.
4:31 pm
but we have heard different messages, since the white house came out and said everyone should get vaccinated. i agree with the current message from the california department of health -- if someone out there feels they are at high risk because of the community they live in, or because of their job, they should go and get a booster. the cdc criteria is very broad. i personally know people who didn't technically fit the criteria but said, i am concerned so i will get a we will see the tide turned when pfizer gives more data related to that 10,000 person trial that shows that, yes, everyone would benefit from a vaccine efficacy standpoint, by getting a booster. kristen: like you said, it has already been broad. by pegging it to underlying medical conditions, and then having the concerns, anyone can just walk in and say i have a concern, right? i want to get a booster. people will not be turned away for that, right?
4:32 pm
dr. patel: they will not, they haven't been. even though we recommend people follow the guidelines, people are getting boosters ahead of time. i think where the conversation is shifting, is the original data was focused on who is high-risk, and who needs to actually get a booster because they are either likely to get exposed or they have an underling illness. will now, we are talking more about transmission. people who may not be exposed every day to actually prevent transmission, that is a different topic. still encompassed in the whole conversation of getting everyone a boost. i think europe is a warning sign of what may potentially happen if we let waning immunity go across the place and we don't get ahead of it in time. kristen: in fact i was talking to a state health officials today about the combination of waning immunity when you consider when people got the shots and it has been eight months for a lot of them and the winter, the first winter with
4:33 pm
delta. not in the bay area, but in some parts of california, some hospitals are full just with noncovered things. so they are opening it up to say, if you want it, get it. do you think that is the right approach now, given that we have the winter coming up? dr. patel: absolutely. you listed many factors that we have to pay attention to this winter in terms of the potential wave. one thing we didn't mention what is complacency in people who are done with this that do not want to wear our mask anymore. and also the fact that we still have a huge amount of people that need to get vaccinated. so you are not only protecting yourself, but also the realization that people are over. the restrictions they are glad you brought up the fact that we still have hospitals full. that is where we operate at baseline. now with the shortage of health care professionals, hospitals are jampacked right now. i am working in an icu the other night, and the three icus in the area are all full, figuring out where we can transport children.
4:34 pm
we do not have capacity for another surge this winter. kristen: so basically would you suggest especially those who got the johnson & johnson and the cdc does allow them to get it right away, but everybody else if they got pfizer and would dare not -- and moderna, they should just get it? dr. patel: i would suggest it if you have a specific concern, get it. if you have questions, which out to a health care professional. you are doing this to protect everyone around you. if you are old and you have an asymptomatic or mild illness, the person you potentially spread it to may not be so lucky. kristen: ok. even if you don't have a concern, should you just go and get it if you are over 18? dr. patel: at this point, yes. you should just go out and get it.

state. when asked, the governor said restaurant should be forced to require vaccinations. in an out-of-court abc 7 it was thankful for the invitation, but it has no plans to open locations in florida. this comes after bay area locations were shut down for violating vaccine mandates or limiting to take out only. what do you think? out burger. but i have to be honest, just do what you are supposed to do. i don't know, i just get tired of it all. spencer: i am surprised texas has not reached out, too. the governors in florida and texas are black -- kristen: don't forget the huge south dakota market. larry: one thing about in-n-out is the majority of people that i see her in their cars and going to the drive-throughs. it is almost a non-issue at least from what i have observed.

4:40 pm
but, i don't know. i guess a reminder could be nice. sometimes you just get into it. usually it would've been something i have seen and, like, what on earth have i done? spencer: i am like larry. i am 15, not five. [laughter] kristen: nice try, spencer. spencer: i don't need the reminder either. kristen: their core users are younger than the four of us. and for teens, like my kid, i think it is good to see the reminder pop-up. it is better coming from instagram than coming from mom, right? larry: i was going to say that. kristen: sadly for instagram, that is a problem they are facing. he is generally on tiktok now, not instagram. spencer: kristen: unhappy folks on wall street right now. the market will be open on new year's eve which falls on
