we had a horrible third search 30% of us have been exposed by at california dph. survey sarah problems for may and thirties were actually rolling out vaccine fast, so i don't think we're gonna have 1/4 search in this state like is happening in other states, according to the cdc, doctor 54 million people in the u. s have now been vaccinated. but again, that's out of a total population of nearly 400 million. you mentioned herd immunity. at what point do you think we reach herd immunity and for people who don't understand what that means? can you explain why herd immunity is significant? yes. s o. as of today, 29.8% of americans have gotten first dose, so we're nowhere close to by the way, where a country that we can look at to see where their thresholds are. herd immunity, so let's look at israel from that. we have to do it because that's with a place that rolled out the fastest at about 35 to 40% of vaccination. first dose in cases started plummeting in israel were not even at the point where they started getting that that tipping point. case is plummeting, and tha

so sarah prevalence is studied by the california dph that 30% of us of antibodies even more in southern california. and so there was a lot of exposure. unfortunately that gives us natural immunity. then we're putting back feeds on top of it. 31.4% of us vaccinated first does then we're opening up very slowly and prudently as we are in a very not wide open way. all three of those were not gonna happen. other search. i'm very calm. french, okay, so then what is your message to people now that they hear cdc says, yep. you can travel if you're fully vaccinated. what would your reminders be? my reminders would be that we're not all accidents, so we're still doing masking and distancing and public spaces, which is so fair, right? like it may not be that you can pass it on to someone. it's a vaccine, which i don't think you can. but it's so fair that we don't wear it on our sleeves for vaccinated and we all have to mask a distance and stay with the rules our public spaces, including flights, which is certainly not gonna be dropping mass right now, but i think that her hand i'd say if you're fu

what is concerning san francisco's dph deputy director a supply. >> unfortunately, as we expand, there is less vaccine coming in. part of this is due to johnson & johnson having a little bit of a delay given issues going on with the manufacturing. the hope is that in the next few weeks the vaccine will start to flow momomomomomomomomo >> reporter: alameda county is struggling with supply. last week, they got over 40,000 doses. next week, they are getting 26,000. contra costa county is the opposite of san francisco and alameda county and they are expecting 120,000 doses. that is 20,000 more than last week. >> a large part of the reason why we have been able to do so well is that contra costa county has federal qualified health clinics and those health clinics are in all kinds of counties. but ours are mostly run by the county. >> reporter: contra costa county has been ahead of the state since march 31.march 31.m. >> san francisco is also getting a jumpstart by offering free vaccinations to those in priority zip codes and thousands were turned down due to supply. we were at san francisco
