kris?er: we talked with a lot of people with some help from bob redell and we heard over and over again people were worried about how fast this vaccine was developed. it was a record breaking pace. for reference the last vaccine that was developed fast took four years, but people also said that they trust the fda and they trust science. so the latest survey out of the pugh recertificate institute says people are growing in confidence. 29% say they would definitely get the vaccine. 21% probably -- rather, 31% would probably get the vaccine. 21% would not get it for sure but 18% say they definitely would not get the vaccine. we did a survey of our own, and here is what people told us. >> if it's fda approved, i'll get it. >> i would say 90%, yes, i'm okay with it. >> from what i know on the vaccine for it to be made within a year, i'm like, no, not going to do it. >> i wan to see what's going on and the side effects before i decide that yes for sure. >> i have two little ones at home. if you

"today in the bay" kris sanchez joining us with the work ahead on vaccinations. kris? >> well, hi, marcus. you heard me say before that in public health the saying is vaccines don't save people. vaccinations do. that means that people have to have enough trust that they get the vaccine in order to be protected and today facebook is taking some action to make sure people are not getting misinformation. take a look at this tweet that came out over the last half hour. facebook said we'll start removing false claims about the vaccines on facebook and on instagram that have been debunked by public health experts. the company goes on to say that this include false claims about the safety, efficacy and ingredients or side effects of those vaccines. now, this morning on "today" show bill gates talked about his foundation and $70 million commitment towards vaccine development and distribution. he talked about finding out that the first vaccines up for emergency approval were more than 90% effective. >> that was absolutely at the high end of expectations. and the reduction of se

kris?porter: as early as monday the uk health care workers might start rolling up their sleeves to get the first pfizer vaccinations and then on thursday the fda is going to consider whether to grant the same emergency approval for health care workers here. at this point what we know is the uk is going to get about 800,000 of those pfizer vaccines to first cover health care workers but also staff and residents of care homes and people over the age of 80. we know that people over 80 have that highest mortality rate. clinical trials show the pfizer vaccine is 95% effective and safe across all age groups in the trials. >> the safety of the vaccine is similar to other vaccines and most of the side effects are very mild and last for a day or so. >> reporter: the cdc will decide who gets priority once approved here. health care workers including folks in long-term facilities and residents of those facilities as well. there are about 24 million of those health care workers and residents in the.s.

hi, kris. >> yeah. hi there, chris. we saw bob talking about those vaccines and counties around the bay area are already preparing to do the same thing you're seeing happening at the fair grounds today once they get that moderna vaccine once it is proved and we know that the discussion is now under way. there is a slight break happening right now. we are in a different time zone. we do know that the advisory panel for the fda is looking at that same data that was presented for the pfizer vaccine, the moderna version. the agency shows it's a favorable safety profile, no specific safety concerns, but a bit of a lower efficacy rate for people 65 years and older, just 86%. people did report feeling pain at the injection site, headaches and fatigue, which can be expected. moderna can counter with one big advantage. >> cold chain requirements are less restringent in that it requires cold like the freezers we have at home. >> a look at the two vaccines side by side. the pfizer and moderna vaccines are equal effective overall,

kris?> reporter: after months and months of wearing masks and social distancing, a lot of folks are saying they want to go back to normal. when it's time for us in the general population to get our vaccines it is going to feel like a flu shot even if the vaccine was developed at an extraordinary rate. >> as long as the cdc and fauci says it's okay, i trust him. >> i think covid was developed way too quickly under pressure. we need it but i think they need a little more research. >> reporter: it could be summer before most of us in the general population are eligible to get a covid vaccine, and by then there could be more than one option. the pfizer and moderna vaccines require two doses weeks apart so immunity could take a month. and while your body uses the vaccine to create that immunity, you might experience coronavirus-type symptoms like muscle aches and fever. scientists say no worse than what you experience with the flu shot or shot for pneumonia. still with symptoms that mimic covid

we'll be waiting to find that out, kris. >>> hopefully they come quickly.d of covid-19 cases are being reported in the u.s. more than 204,000 cases were reported yesterday. and the numbers show a grim update as 277,000 deaths were reported. that is the most ever recorded in a single day. here in california, more than 20,000 new cases were confirmed yesterday. that blows away the state's previous records. during the july surge that we saw, the state hit a peak of 12,000 daily cases. amid the increase of cases, the cdc is urging people to avoid traveling for the upcoming holidays. health officials say if you must travel, then you should get tested before and after your trip. >>> well, this morning, there are now more than 100,000 covid patients in hospitals across the u.s. bay area leaders are keeping a close eye on hospital capacity. 30% of their beds available right now and in the south bay where hospitals are seeing the most patients since april, less than 20% but regional medical center said the patient stays are now shorter than before. most of the sympt

kris sanchez is live in san jose looking into what the regular people are saying about getting that vaccine. >> reporter: vaccines only work if people get them. one of the concerns we have heard over and over again is about how fast the vaccine was developed. it was fast. before this, the fastest vaccine development was four years. still people say they trust the science and fda and confidence in the vaccine is growing. 60% of people surveyed say they would or probably get the vaccine. 39% say they probably or definitely would not get the vaccine. of those probably's they say they would reconsider with more safety data. we did a survey of our own. here is what people told us. >> if it's fda approved, yeah, i'd get it. >> at this point, i'd say i'm 90% with the okay. >> a vaccine made within a year? no, not going to do it. >> i want to see the side effects. >> i have two little ones at home. if you do get sick when you first get the vaccine, i really like don't have extra help. >> for those of us maybe on the younger or health care side, i think it should be optional. >> i guess i will. i'm

kris sanchez has been digging deep on this research and has more for this report. >> reporter: nationwide about 1.5 million children have tested positive for covid-19. in california, they make up about 11% of cases. but it's going to be a while before kids have to worry about getting a covid vaccine because according to the cdc, they will be just about the last people to get them. we asked people if in the interest of reopening our communities and our economy, if kids should be higher up on that priority list. >> i would. i don't have kids but i would think that is a smart way to go. >> i think they could give the option if you want to attend school, you need to have the vaccine or you can have the option of online learning if you don't. >> school is, obviously, seems like a superspreader environment for sure for the kids as well as the staff. obviously, they will taking that home to their families. >> epidemiologist maldonado said schools are not superspreader events because kids are following rules and masking up and hand washing. she said schools can return to school with a vaccine if

there is no choice. >> we just heard kris jansing. people are struggling and they're losing faith in the government. how do you build it out to convince people that the vaccine is safe? >> that is going to be a big challenge and there is all different layers of trust. i tend to focus on how do you increase the trust in the cdc and the public health system. for us to be successful moving forward that will be critical. i hope the next administration puts the head of the cdc out there every day to answer questions, talk about what they're learning, and talk about why it is so critical to do these issues. i hope we will see our political leaders standing next to people from the cdc and i hope we'll see our political leaders modelling the behavior that we're asking people to do. you can't tell people to wear a mask and then seeing all of the political leaders not doing that. seening that unity of message and purpose. that it is something that everyone in america needs to do. >> we will have to wait for a new administration to see that. let

kris sanchez has more on why this could impact all of us. >> reporter: regional medical center in san jose serves a large portion of the latino population and last week they had less than five icu beds available and may transport patients to other hospitals next week. here is part of the reason why. the percentages on your screen represent all covid cases in latino patients. all but two counties are close or more than half. stanford epidemiologist says more reasthan one reason latinoe getting sick. >> they are not paying attention. i think part of it is they have to work and they don't think they will get that sick. we are seeing whole families are getting sick. >> reporter: covid isn't the same for everyone. younger patients might get less sick but in a lot of latino families, several generations live in the same house and some have limited access to health care. many latinos work in essential businesses like grocery stores and agriculture fields. a restaurant worker hopes the vaccine will be mandatory but others are not so sure. >> i don't think it's different. i think maybe the sam

kris reyes joins us, now. lots to get to here. >> yeah, lots to get to, dion. bottom line, expect to have the quietest holiday season of your life. the governor justifying his lockdown, by saying there too many red flags in the state's surging covid-19 numbers. >> the bottom line is if we don't act now, our hospital system will be overwhelmed. if we don't act now, we'll continue to see a death rate climb, more lives lost. >> and with that, governor newsom said he is pulling the emergency brake. issuing a stay-at-home order for three weeks for any region with icu capacity falling below 15%. >> we are using a regional approach, in part, because is how hospitals and healthcare deliv delivery systems work. >> reporter: the stay-at-home order could come as soon as mid to late december. that means bars, wineries, personal services, and hair salons, will have to shut down again. the governor's also asking all californians not to gather with anyone outside their household. one slide after another, the governor made his case with california's surging covid-19 numbers, w

kris sanchez, "today in the bay." talk to us about that. >> reporter: think how many shots if you haven't been so good with the floss at the dentist. they are used to doing that. it would take legislative action to allow optometrists or dentists to administer a vaccine like that. pharmacists have been given that permission to administer the covid vaccine as they do the flu vaccine whenever it is ready to go. it may not be likely that your eye doctor will do that. >> a lot to do that, make sure that it stays active. a live look at rockefeller center. the annual christmas tree lighting so no live audience, probably doesn't surprise you. this is great, you'll still be able to watch the ceremony from the comfort of your home. right here on nbc bay area. it's tomorrow night. christmas tree farmers are bringing cheer to more families this year. the demand to have a real tree is growing. 21% of people who had an artificial tree or no tree at all plan on buying the real deal this holiday season. you mentioned that you had, to
