tomorrow, wednesday and thursday. the state is on track for most californians to be vaccinated by the middle of the summer, which is good because people are slowly starting to gather and travel and other parts of the country are seeing more new infections. >> we're also seeing that a growing trend of young, healthy, unvaccinated people, because they're not vaccinated yet, people are among some of the sickest. >> reporter: something that i found here in santa clara county through the sccfreevax.gov site is the form will require to you enter slashes in for your birth dates and dashes in for your phone number, but the keyboard doesn't necessarily let you do that on an iphone, so if you are having trouble booking an appointment through your phone, you might try to go onto your laptop and try to do it that way, that way worked out better for me and now i have an appointment booked for wednesday. i'm very excited about that. in santa .

amendment privilege today. >> reporter: -- derek chauvin. they've seen charts, maps, graphs, animation and video and today all of that evidence and testimony comes down to the last word from prosecutors. >> the case has gone in as well as i could imagine for the state. >> reporter: and the defense. >> all he has to do is convince one juror, right, to have one juror doubt the prosecution's case, and we have a hung jury. from judge peter cahill. >> it's up to the jury how long you deliberate, how long you need to come to a unanimous decision on any count. >> reporter: the jury will be sequestered in a city that is in essence sequestered as well. businesses locked down, boarded up, security stepped up, so many here, including those closest to the case. >> i'm very anxious and wondering what's going to happen, what's going to be the outcome. >> reporter: on edge for what comes next.
