rise in cases for a few weeks, but health experts say the good news. we are very capable of handling it now. it's tough to say covid is back when in reality it never really left. >> we're just much better prepared to deal with it. >> the fda still has to approve this vaccine that is expected to come within the next week. the cdc will also have to sign up. we are also expecting to hear from pfizer about their new covid booster as well. both could be options for people as we enter the fall and winter seasons. we're live in walnut creek, ryan curry, abc seven news. ryan thank you. >> an apparent road rage shooting on the peninsula has left one person hurt. and this morning the shooter is still out there. it happened on i-280 in burlingame last night. sky seven shows the traffic jam at the truesdale drive exit. drivers were backed up to larkspur drive. lanes were closed for about half an hour last night. the chp believes the shooting happened on i-280, near the crystal springs off ramp in san bruno, but they're still working

in the newsroom with the details. and gloria, you just got a statement from the city attorney's office about the ruling. >> i did. kumasi and according to the chronicle, the city attorney believes the ruling makes it easier for san francisco to conduct encampment sweeps and enforce some local laws, like a ban on sitting or lying on public sidewalks during certain hours. as far as that state went, i just got from the city attorney's office, it says in part, quote, we are pleased that the ninth circuit agreed with the city that the preliminary injunction does not apply to those who refuse shelter or those who have a shelter bed and choose to maintain a tent on the street. this action holds plaintiffs to their statements in court on what it means to be involuntarily homeless, end quote. the court rejected the city's motion to reverse the injunction that blocked officials from clearing encampments when the number of unhoused individuals is greater than the number of available shelter beds. san francisco officials argued that many people on the streets are refused shelter. the coalition

on homelessness says that is not true. they claim the city is simply marking people down as refuse housing because they don't have enough beds. the coalition sued last year, setting off this legal battle, and they say that yesterday's ruling is a win for them since the injunction was not reverse it. and of course, we know this issue about homelessness has been a big topic in san francisco recently. sales force ceo marc benioff recently told the chronicle that if this dreamforce is impacted by the current situation with homelessness and drug use and may be the last dreamforce in the city and the city attorney saying they look forward to the court's decision on the other issues raised in their appeal. live in the newsroom, gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. >> thank you, gloria. new this morning, new data shows just how effective the new covid booster shots are at fighting the new omicron variant. and those shots could be ready as soon as next week. abc7 news reporter ryan curry joins us live from walnut

creek with that. ryan >> yeah, reggie, good morning. we're just waiting approval from the fda and cdc about this matter which could come as soon as next week. and now we're waiting to see what health experts are telling us, because right now their advice is that people should go and get it once it is approved. and moderna says this new booster creates more antibodies designed to fight the newer omicron subvariants. they say it also offers additional protection against the subvariants currently making up majority of the cases in the united states. doctors right now say they don't appear to be any more dangerous than other subvariants. however there may they may be more capable of causing infections in people who were previously infected or have older covid vaccines. that is why doctors say it's best to get this new shot and treat it like it would be when you get your yearly flu shot. i think it's important for people to start viewing this almost like we view the influenza vaccine where it's going to be tailored every fall to the best of scientists

ability to capture the dominating, circulating strain. also to note, doctors say don't throw away any test if test kits, if even if they're expired . the fda has extended the expiration date when it comes to certain brands. we also know that in some places here in the bay area, home test kits are kind of hard to come by. so keeping on to them as we enter these winter months are going to be handy. we're live in walnut creek, ryan curry, abc seven news. >> thank you, ryan. along with the updated covid shots, doctors say we should all be getting flu shots in the coming weeks. parents will want to start early, especially if you have a kid who is eight and younger who's never had a flu shot because those kids need two doses to be fully vaccinated and older americans are encouraged to ask their doctor about at a high dose vaccine, which can provide extra protection. we talked to a doctor with kaiser permanente who says this year's vaccine appears to be a good match for what is heading our way. >> you have protection against just the two dominant strains of flu. so h3n2 and h1n1, one as

well as protection against two different strains of flu b, he says you can get the flu shot at the same time that you get the covid and rsv vaccines. >> if you're eligible. the most important thing is that you are not skipping the flu shot. >> developing news. secretary of state antony blinken landed in ukraine overnight on an unannounced visit. jobina. the state department is revealing this trip is tied to the un general assembly meeting later this month. >> yes. so the state department says blinken's overseas visit will demonstrate the united states unwavered commitment to ukraine's sovereign tsay. a big announcement is also expected from the secretary. the us is sending more than $1 billion in new funding for ukraine. this visit comes as the biden administration is waiting to see if congress will approve a request for an additional $24 billion in aid for ukraine. meanwhile, officials say blinken's travel plans were unannounced because of security concerns over the active conflict in the country. overnight, russia launched an

air attack over kyiv just before blinken's arrival. according to the white house, ukraine's four month long major counteroffensive is making, quote, notable progress within the last week. the state department says the trip is a good chance for the us to get a real assessment of the counteroffensive before the united nations general assembly later this month. so far, blinken has already met with ukraine's minister of foreign affairs during his two day trip. he plans on meeting with president zelensky and other top officials there. reggie jobina thank you. >> a note from senator mitch mcconnell's doctor indicates that the senator is not suffering from any new health concerns. the senate minority leader froze up in front of reporters twice in two months. the note from his doctor says that there's no evidence of seizure disorder, parkinson's movement disorder or stroke. mcconnell froze last week during a news conference. his staff has blamed his episodes on lightheadedness. mcconnell suffered a concussion after

falling in march. the doctor's note does not recommend any new treatments, as mcconnell continues to recover from that fall. >> the search for convicted killer deangelo cavalcanti, who escaped from a pennsylvania prison, is entering its seventh day. reports of footprint in the area has led authorities to expand the search zone. the footprints were found near a botanical garden about 40 miles outside of philadelphia. police believe cavalca slipped through an original perimeter and is still somewhere nearby. >> the photos confirm that cavalca has not changed his appearance, but also that he has obtained a backpack. we realized within just a few hours where he was and so he's not had a tremendous amount of time to move a long distance. both the local district attorney and state police have opened investigations into the escape, but officials still haven't said how it happened. >> california families still coping with tragic losses are leading a ballot initiative that would crack down on fentanyl dealers.
