events are back in business. >> yeah, chris pallone has the newest booster shot timeline. good morning, chris. >> president biden says he will get his covid-19 vaccine booster shot, this as the battle over mandatory vaccines in the workplace starts to head to court. over the weekend, people newly eligible are encouraged to get a booster while still trying to convince those that have not been vaccinated at all to roll up their sleeves. they are approving boosters from moderna and johnson & johnson as well. >> with the goal of making booster recommendations from moderna and j&j recipients in the coming weeks, this is a high, high priority. >> meanwhile, battles over

vaccine mandates are brewing in the courts, and in new york city a judge put on hold an order that would force 150,000 employees to have their first vaccine shot by today. back here in washington, as we said, president biden remarked yesterday he would be getting his covid booster shot and said he would do it publicly so the public could see it. the president got his second pfizer shot more than eight months ago back in january. >> there's good news on the covid front, chris? >> there is. we watch the numbers day in and day out and it turns out over the past two weeks the amount of new infections registered in the u.s. and the number of hospitalizations have both declined by double digits. unfortunately, the number of deaths are up double digits as well, and that's a lagging indicator. hopefully that number will also

start to go down soon. >> a welcomed change. thank you, chris. more covid details now. a vaccine for children between 5 and 11 appears to be getting closer. pfizer recently released data showing the vaccine is safe and effective in children but not has been peer reviewed. a dose given to children would be one-third of the adult dosage. when it comes to the return of the convention crowd, the largest bay area conference yet begins on the peninsula. >> cierra johnson is live for us, and this is a software conference with really specific safety rules, i understand? >> reporter: good morning. yeah, that's right. you can seat blue glow behind me with the light, and the event kicks off today and the conference is welcoming as many as 5,000 attendees.

as you can imagine with that many people gathering in one spot, health and safety top of mind for organizers here. you need to submit proof of a covid vaccination and proof of a negative covid rapid test or submit to a covid test here in the parking lot to be granted admission. now, once attendees show that proof of vaccination and complete the testing, organizers say the sessions will take place outdoors in festival style for a extra level of precaution. salesforce closed off the street

in the conference there. there was a testing facility as well as a drive-through vaccination site, so this event no stranger to making sure the large group will be staying healthy. >> thanks. in the meantime we are following breaking news in the south bay. these are live pictures where you see fire crews responding to a two-alarm house fire in cupertino. this is happening in the 1000 block of tanzania. somebody could have been in the home when the fire broke out. you see crews there on the roof
