the underlying issue. vaccine getting to us in san francisco and getting in the arms of people in san francisco is also very, very complex. so the federal government directly allocates a small portion of the doses that it has and then the rest of it gets divided up and allocated by the federal government to the 50 states. once our california share has arrived, then it gets allocated not just to our 58 counties, but also large health care organizations. in fact, in san francisco, two-thirds of the vaccine that is coming into the county is going straight to our health care partners. that's important to realize. as you mentioned, not only are we not receiving all of the allocation, but just a minority, but it's very erratic and unpredictable because of the supply issues. that means we can't know from week to week how many spots we'll have available for people to get vaccinated. the state also determines what the priorities are for vaccination. again, as you said, very important to know. and right now, the priority groups are health care workers and they are people that are 65 and older. these are the people wh

san francisco. through last friday, from all the entities in san francisco, we received about 103,000 doses. as of yesterday, the total is we received 123,875 doses. everybody in phase 1a and then those people 65 years and older phase 1b, that's 200,000 people. with everyone needing two doses that means we need 400,000 doses to vaccinate all those people. so far through yesterday, we've only received 123,000 doses. we're about 277,000s doses behind. i will end that portion of the presentation. i will open up for questions. >> supervisor haney: thank you so much for the presentation. ceo pickens and director carol for all your work on this monumental task according our vaccination strategy here. i have couple of questions, i know my colleagues have do as well. i have a question about coordination of the different, with the private healthcare providers on the mass vaccination sites in the community hubs and mobile sites. and communication to the public around that. i'm just trying to understand how this is going to work. for example, the first mass vaccination site that's opening up at city col

the question. and, you know, san francisco since the beginning of this pandemic, through not only the rental subsidies that we had through the city and county of san francisco, that try to provide some additional rental assistance to make sure that when this is over that people are still responsible for that rent and will need to pay it. we just found out from the federal government that san francisco will be given $26 million in stimulus money to help with rental assistance. this will be significant. we know that it's not just the people who are struggling to pay their rent, but some of the small property owners and others who might be struggling because they're not receiving that additional income. there is hope with this new $26 million and i'm excited to see what that does to help to address some of the challenges that exist. because what we don't want to happen is that we don't want -- after this pandemic is over, we don't want to see a lot of people getting evicted and we also don't want to see a situation where so many small property owners who rely on this income to help to cover the expenses

the pandemic. we have an incredible village in san francisco. in a matter of weeks we got the program up and running with the help of community organizations, city departments and private partners. i especially want to thank the department of youth and families and phil ginsburg from recreation and parks who stepped up and drove this program from the beginning. thanks to the hard work of every one involved over the past three months of operation we served 2000 students at 78 locations throughout the city. that is 2000 students who have been able to get help with distance learning, receive healthy food and snacks, and most importantly have a place to go where they could be around other kids their own age. that is thousands of san francisco parents who can focus on working during the day, knowing their children are being looked after. these hubs have made a difference in people's lives. they have been safe, even during this challenging time. from day one, keeping our young people in the hub, staff safe and healthy is the top bright. the community h

and i'll just at a count of three, we will begin with the san francisco in the san torontn francisco board. 1, 2 -- no one is unmuting. are you going to recite it with me. 1, 2, 3! >> the san francisco board of supervisors acknowledges that we are on (inaudible) fiscal homeland original aboriginal of the san francisco peninsula and stewards of this land and the core groups. the pressure long nor class will provide their responsibilities and care takers of this place. as well as for the people that row side in the traditional territory. we recognize that benefit from living and on the traditional homeland. we wish to pay respect to the ancestors (inaudible). >> thank you, very much, everybody. >> now, colleagues, can you place your hand over your heart. your right hand. would you please join me in the pledge of allegiance. i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic, for which it stands, one nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. thank you, very much. on behalf of the board, i would like to acknowledge the staff at sfgt

the way they got involved is when marrow woods was killed by the san francisco police about three milesfrom my house. i was so shocked that is the way that the san francisco police operated -- operate. so i have been part of justice for mario woods and we fought for that department of justice recommendations. there were 272 of them and they're based on the racism and the violence of the san francisco police. that's horrendous to think about, that 272 recommendations were made to change the police department. so here we are, this is the board of supervisors five years later, and we must take this seriously, because black people are being killed three miles away from my house and very close to others in the black community itself. and i believe that wealth disparities have a handle on what is needed and felicia jones has a very good handle on what is needed. we cannot have san francisco police shooting down our people, as they have continued to do for the last five or six years. we ask that this would be stopped and it's not stopped and in october and november there's been two more shooti

the next set of questions come from alex fererria, san francisco business times. in what ways will the restrictions in place in san francisco be on thursday differ from what the state is allowing in the purple tier counties? or, is the county reopening to the full extent of the purple tier? >> so just to be clear right nod that the counties are coming out as the shelter-in-place order, we will be told what tier we're in tomorrow. we'll look at that very carefully. and with regard to the orders, those will be -- be released accordingly. and that those will be released on thursday at this time. >> thank you, dr. colfax. your next question comes from holly striker of kqed. what amount is the expected next shipment of vaccine in san francisco? >> so, remember, we have visibility only to the vaccine that the health department will be getting because the other health care systems in the county, the kaiser and the sutter and the dignity, they get pulled from their regional counterparts what vaccine they'll be getting. what i can tell you right now because this is what we

thanks to your steadfast leadership and vision, the city and county of san francisco has been a model for the nation on how we keep our residents safe, healthy and resilient. as you shared, san francisco will recover from the covid-19 pandemic, but that recovery will depend on all of us, all of our behaviors and actions. it will take all of us to support each other, stand up for each other and do what is right for each other. i am so produce to partner with -- to partner with the department of children youth and families, recreation and parks, san francisco public library and other city departments. our school district, community partners and private sector partners to join forces and to do our part to ensure the safety and well-being of our city's most vulnerable children and youth. we answered your call to action, madam mayor, and stood up to the community hub initiative for youth. a lot of support from the department of public health. our highest need children are receiving the very necessary in person support with their distance learning curriculum and getting the much needed enri

the next set of questions also come from multiple news outlets. why does san francisco have so much more i.c.u. availability than the regional average? even some counties that have had similar public health responses. and the followup is: could you expand on what you said about san francisco's i.c.u. capacity potentially dropping because of needs across the state? >> doctor: sure. i think right now our i.c.u. capacity is really good shape compared to certainly the rest of the state, for a number of factors. primarily, we have as a community so far weathered the worst of surges, so we don't have as many people proportionately in our hospital system because of covid-19 because of all of the efforts we have invested and the sacrifices we have made. the other key piece right now is seasonally, during the holidays and right after the holidays, there are generally fewer people in the hospital for elective surgeries and so forth, and so we have more hospital capacity for that reason as well. and we have been working very hard with our hospital partners in the city to ensure th

the unemployment rates for san francisco are in the red bubbles there. that's just for san francisco city and county. it's as low as 2.3% back in january and february. it's currently -- or in october, it was 6.9%. it's come down from the high points of april, may, and june, but i expect that we don't see this data yet because it hasn't been reported, that we will likely see increases in november and december. what the bars are showing is the number of the labor force unemployed. in october there were 27,000 people added to the number of unemployed in san francisco and about 5,000 that left the labor force. these could be discouraged workers no longer seeking employment. the other number is the total number of unemployed individuals, 40,072. so again, the bar showing what was added in that month, but there is an ongoing 40,072 unemployed in san francisco. the next slide here is showing recovery compared to how san francisco compares to other counties. san francisco is there in the middle and we're showing comparisons for january 2020, both for may and octo
