in morgan hill. the mobile clinic is a partnership with united farmworkers and an effort to reach workers where they are, much to the relief of the employers. the one dose johnson & johnson vaccine is expected to be another big gain for this underserved community where case rates are up to 40% higher than the average and the mortality rate is up to 20% higher. >> i can tell you today is the happiest day i have had since last march. >> we have farm workers or seasonal temp workers going from site to site, and may not be around in three to four weeks when their second dose is due. a single dose vaccine makes a lot of sense. >> reporter: until that is available, the double-dose vaccine also continue, the mobile vaccine clinic will be back mere in morgan hill on wednesday and then will move on to gilroy. for that, the mobile model, the one-dose vaccine also expected

[ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: and other parents spoke at that rally, sharing concerns of their children falling behind, doing just virtual learning and emphasizing just how important it is to get back in the classroom for their families and mayor libby schaaf also shared there was a batch of vaccines set aside specifically for educators, she said that speaks to the dedication that this community has to its education process as well as the safety of their teachers. we're live in berkeley, cierra johnson, for "today in the bay." >> cierra, thank you. more details in the north bay, a boost for santa rosa teachers, some of whom were anxious after limited supplies forced sonoma county school worker vaccination clinic to close. thanks for the help from senator mike maguire an additional 1500 doses are secured for teachers
