state wide begin to climb again. >> reporter: yes. good morning. that's exactly right. at the peak the center was bustling. we did several reports there. folks coming in, waiting, jursz trying to get the vaccination but today that site is officially closing. mayor breed said at the peak the center vaccination center helped to reach -- get the city of san francisco to 81% vaccination rate of all eligible residents. the city said vaccinations will continue through mobile sites and pharmacies. health leaders say that presence of the site helped to reduce new cases in san francisco by 97%. that from san until the last week of june but as we mentioned as that center transitioned from a vaccination side back to a convention spasz there's a new concern.

covid cases on the rise in california. the state positivity was .7%. this week 2.7%. hospitalizations on the rise. the 14-day average is about 1,400 patients. there's two important things to note about that information. a lot of those cases are located in the sacramento and the los angeles area. another thing to keep in mind 99% of those cases are coming from individuals that are unvaccinated. so some good news here in san francisco. we have that high vaccination rate. so our chances of seeing that spike still exist but lower than the locations without quite as high of a vaccination rate. we're live in san francisco. cierra johnson for "today in the bay." >> thank you. new numbers show that out of the 25 million kids old enough to get the covid vaccine only about one third received it coming as the delta strain is

democrats now agree that some of these issues are important because they impact families. >> a mom and dad going to work can't afford child care. >> a lot of republican senators who are inclined to be for infrastructure package also want to make sure it is not just added to the debt. >> reporter: meantime the president also speaking out on voting rights. we heard that in the speech in philadelphia but on capitol hill there is still up in the air of what if any legislation will pass and the white house is saying that the president applauds the texas democrats that fled the state to washington and has not yet said if he will meet with them. marcus? >> a big talker yesterday. happening there in texas. thank you. 6:05. new details, italian court rubber stamped the conviction of two marin county men in the deadly stabbing of a plain

today. if he is wrong that could be a huge problem. if inflation is a long term thing, that is a disaster for our economy and your savings. why not take action? the action is raising interest rates but if this is temporary raising interest rates would be the worst thing to do. you have two choices. both of which are a mess if you choose wrong and wreck the economy. inflation temporary feels right. so people went out and bought used cars after the pandemic. maybe they're uncomfortable with transit. can't get a new car because of the chip shortage. everyone that wants a car will buy one. >> if they can. >> yes. but eventually it should catch up. right? and that's when the prices should come down. like i said if we are wrong we have really messed up the economy. >> yeah. okay.

attack but the judge in the case expressed some doubt as to whether jensen helped plan an attack on the capitol after new video showed jeb sen at the time thought he was attacking the white house. >> look at me touching the [ bleep ] white house. this is why we're here.
