$15 MILLION IN CASH PRIZES SOUNDS ENTICING BUT WILL CASH INCENTIVES CONVINCE PEOPLE TO GET IN LINE FOR A VACCINE?

ONE OF OUR KPBS REPORTERS HAS MORE FROM PEOPLE WHO RECEIVED THEIR FIRST DOSE OF THE VACCINE TODAY.

>> Reporter: ON TOP OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF CASH PRICES, PEOPLE COULD RECEIVE A $50 GIFT CARD AND IT IS AN INCENTIVE THAT IS ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO GET THE SHOT.

>> YOU CAN ENTER A $1 MILLION LOTTERY.

>> Reporter: THAT IS THE LATEST EFFORT BY THE STATE TO REACH HEARD IMMUNITY.

ONE WOMAN SAYS IT COULD GIVE PEOPLE THE PUSH THEY NEED.

>> IT COULD BE A WAY TO GET PEOPLE -- IT COULD ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GET THE SHOT THAT THEY NEED.

>> Reporter: HER PARENTS TOLD HER ABOUT IT.

SHE SAYS IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY SHE WILL TAKE THE JACKPOT HOME THOUGH.

>> IT IS LIKE, A BONUS I GUESS BUT THAT SHOULD NOT BE THE ONLY REASON YOU WERE GETTING VACCINATED.

>> Reporter: SHE SO SHE IS PROTECTING HER ELDERLY GRANDPARENTS.

SHE IS ONE OF DOZENS OF PEOPLE THAT WERE VACCINATED ON FRIDAY AT THE MTS TRANSPORTATION CENTER.

MOST PEOPLE THAT WE CAME ACROSS AT THE VACCINATION SITE WERE HAPPY TO KNOW THAT THEY COULD WIN MONEY BUT OTHERS, WHO LEARNED ABOUT THE NEWS, WERE NOT TOO CONVINCED.

A BEHAVIORAL SCIENTIST SAYS INCENTIVES CAN BRING PROMISING RESULTS AT BUT IT IS ALL ABOUT HOW IT IS PRESENTED TO THE PUBLIC.

>> IT REALLY MATTERS HOW THINGS ARE FRAMED.

IF THIS IS FRAMED AS A KIND OF -- IT COULD HAVE A LONGER AFFECT.

>> HE SAYS THOSE THAT HAVE RESERVATIONS ABOUT THE VACCINE MAY NEED A MORE EMOTIONALLY COMPELLING APPROACH.

>> I HOPE THAT THE STATE TALKS WITH EXPERTS AND FRAMES THIS IN A WAY THAT TRULY MOTIVATES PEOPLE.

>> Reporter: THE STATE ESTIMATES 12 MILLION ELIGIBLE CALIFORNIANS HAVE NOT BEEN VACCINATED YET.

>>> IF YOU WANT TO SET UP A VACCINATION APPOINTMENT FOR YOURSELF FOR AN ELIGIBLE FAMILY MEMBER, YOU CAN FIND A LOCATION MOST TO YOU BY GOING TO OUR WEBSITE, WWW.KPBS.ORG AND CLICK ON THE VACCINES LINK ON THE HOMEPAGE.

>>> FLUSH WITH CASH LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN CALIFORNIA ARE TRYING TO GET HELP AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO THOSE THAT NEED HELP PAYING THEIR BILLS DURING THE PANDEMIC PANDEMIC.

KPBS REPORTER MAX RIVLIN-NADLER TELLS US MORE.

>> Reporter: THROUGH MUCH OF THE PANDEMIC, LOCAL PROGRAMS HELPING PEOPLE PAY RENT AND UTILITY BILLS WERE NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP UP WITH DEMAND.

WITHIN DAYS OF OPENING, RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS RAN OUT OF MONEY AS THE PANDEMIC DRAGGED ON BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE ANYMORE.

FEDERAL AID AND A BOOMING STATE SURPLUS IS FILTERING DOWN TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.

NOW, WHAT IS NEEDED IS OUTREACH TO GET TO THOSE COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET TO THE FRONT OF WHAT WAS ONCE A DESPERATE LINE.

FRIDAY NIGHT, THE PARTNERSHIP FOR A BETTER SAN DIEGO, A COALITION OF LABOR GROUPS ALONG WITH SDG&E AND OTHERS WILL HOLD AN EVENT OUTDOORS.

IN >> RIGHT NOW RENT, UTILITY AND OTHER ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE.

PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW IT IS THERE.

I THINK THE CHALLENGE IS PEOPLE KNOWING HOW TO APPLY.

WE ARE HERE TO BRIDGE THAT GAP.

>> SANDRA WILLIAMS SAYS ONE OF THE MAIN BARRIERS BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY AND EIGHT IS TECHNOLOGY.

>> WE ARE HERE TO HELP WITH EMAIL, UPLOAD DOCUMENTS THAT THEY NEED.

A LOT OF THE FEEDBACK I HAVE RECEIVED, JUST FROM THE COMMUNITY IS THAT, THEY DO NOT HAVE A SCANNER TO UPLOAD OR A CAMERA PHONE.

WE ARE HERE TO DO THAT FOR THEM.

>> THE EVENT RUNS THROUGH 7:30 PM TONIGHT ON FAIRMONT AVENUE IN CITY HEIGHTS.

TRANSLATION SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE FOR MANY LANGUAGES.

THE COALITION IS TRYING TO CAST IS LARGE AND THAT IS POSSIBLE FOR THOSE STRUGGLING THROUGH THE PANDEMIC.

OVER 300 PEOPLE ARE EXPECTED TO SHOW UP.

THE COALITION IS PLANNING FOR FUTURE EFFORTS IN HARD-HIT AREAS IN SAN DIEGO.

I'M MAX RIVLIN-NADLER REPORTING FOR KPBS NEWS.

>>> THERE ARE RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS FOR THOSE IN SAN DIEGO, CHULA VISTA AND SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

YOU CAN FIND INFORMATION ON HOW TO APPLY ONLINE.

>>> THE UNITED STATES IS FAST TRACKING IMMIGRATION CASES OF PEOPLE ARRIVING AT THE BORDER.

THIS COMES AS THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS EASED SOME ASYLUM RESTRICTIONS.

STARTING TODAY, FAMILIES STOPPED AT THE BORDER COULD BE PLACED IN COURT DOCKETS IN 10 CITIES.

THE GOAL IS FOR DOSES JUDGES TO DECIDE THEIR CASES WITHIN 100 DAYS OF THE YEAR FIRST HEARING.

>>> ANOTHER EXTENSION HAS BEEN PLACED ON LAND BORDER RESTRICTIONS UNTIL JUNE 21.

LOCAL OFFICIALS HAVE NOT GIVEN A DATE AS TO WHEN RESTRICTIONS MIGHT BE LIFTED.

THE SAN DIEGO MARY MAYOR, TODD GLORIA SAYS HE IS ASKING FOR A LIFT IN RESTRICTIONS BECAUSE THE NEGATIVE IMPACT IT HAS PLACED ON BORDER BUSINESSES.

>> WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A DATE FOR POTENTIAL REOPENING.

AND THE LACK OF CERTAINTY IS AS HARMFUL AS THE CLOSURE ITSELF.

>> THIS AND YOU CEDRO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE SAYS, HUNDREDS OF BUSINESSES HAVE CLOSED BECAUSE OF PANDEMIC RELATED CLOSURES.

>> OUR KPBS REPORTER, HAS MORE.

IT >> Reporter: MORE FREQUENT TROLLEYS, FASTER BUSES AND 200 MILES OF OUR ONE OF MANY THINGS PROPOSED BY SAN DIEGO.

THEY SAID THIS IS WHAT IT WILL TAKE FOR THE COUNTY TO MEET THE STATE REQUIREMENTS TO LOWER GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS.

>> IF YOU IMAGINE THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORTATION, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN.

>> THE MASS TRANSIT EXPANSION WOULD ONLY WORK IF ZONING LAWS WERE CHANGED.

THE KIND OF THING THAT WOULD ALLOW MORE PEOPLE TO LIVE WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF TRANSPORTATION CENTERS.

>> WE TALK ABOUT WHERE IS THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

THIS PLAN DESCRIBES WHERE IT COULD COME FROM.

I AM PLEASED THAT IT WILL GIVE SAN DIEGANS CHOICES.

AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WILL PROTECT THE QUALITY OF LIFE.

>> POLITICAL DISPUTES OVER THE PLAN WERE ON FULL DISPLAY.

CONTRAST TO PREVIOUS PLANS, THE NEW ONE DOES NOT CALL FOR FREEWAY WIDENING BUT IT WOULD CREATE MORE CAR POOL AND TOLL LANES.

THE MORE CONSERVATIVE BOARD MEMBERS OF SANDAG SAYS THEY ARE NOT ON BOARD WITH THAT IDEA.

>> I FEEL LIKE THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE BENEFIT TO NORTH COUNTY AND AROUND THE CORE DOOR AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE I-5 CORRIDOR.

NOT JUST FOR THE VEHICLES THAT WE DRIVE BUT ALSO FOR TRANSIT.

SO, AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THIS.

>> YOU CAN SEE THE PLAN IN DETAIL AT SDFORWARD.COM.

A VOTE IS EXPECTED BY THIS FALL.

SO THEY ARE GOING PLACES AND STAYING LONGER AND SPENDING MORE MONEY.

>> THE PANDEMIC IS NOT OVER BUT NUMBERS IN THE UNITED STATES LOOK PROMISING.

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN TRAVELED TO VIRGINIA TO TOUT PROGRESS WITH COVID-19.

>> SO MANY JOYS OF LIFE HAVE BEEN HALTED THIS LONG DARK WINTER.

DEATHS HAVE DROPPED BY OVER 85%.

>> RESTAURANTS AND BEACHES ARE BACK TO FULL CAPACITY WITH AMERICANS EAGER TO ENJOY THE WEEKEND.

SPECTATORS HAVE TO PURCHASE A SEATING PACKAGE IN ADVANCE WHICH WILL INCLUDE ADMISSION TICKETS AND PARKING PASSES.

THOSE WILL GO ON SALE ON JUNE 18 WITH PRESALE.

THE 82nd DELMAR RACING SEASON BEGINS IN DELIGHT AND WILL RUN THROUGH LABOR DAY.

>>> WE HAVE A PRETTY TYPICAL PATTERN FOR US THIS TIME OF YEAR.

IT LOOKS GREAT GOING INTO THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

THE MARINE LAYER IS GOING TO BE OUT THERE P ARE TEMPERATURES WILL STAY THE SAME AND SENDS IT IS THE DRY SEASON WE WILL NOT BE LOOKING FOR ANY MAJOR CHANGES.

THE MARINE LAYER IS COMING IN AND HAVING AN INFLUENCE.

MOUNT LAGUNA WILL BE IN THE UPPER 50s.

OVERTIME, IT WILL NOT BE A SURPRISE.

JUST THE COASTAL LOCATIONS AND INLAND LOCATIONS.

BUT WE REALLY MISS OUT ON THE HIGHER CLOUD COVER.

IT LOOKS LIKE THAT WILL STAY OFF TO THE NORTH AS A WEEK TROUGH COMES THROUGH.

OTHERWISE, OUR SEASONAL TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE.

MORE OF THE USUAL LATE SPRING AND EARLY SUMMER TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED.

WE WILL HAVE SUNSHINE.

67 IN SAN DIEGO AND THEN 69 IN OCEANSIDE.

MOUNT LAGUNA WILL HIT THE UPPER 60s.

I SUNDAY, THE STORY STARTS TO WARM UP FOR SOME OF THE INTERIOR LOCATIONS.

THAT WILL BE A GRADUAL WARMING TREND THROUGH MEMORIAL DAY.

WHILE THE COAST JUST MANAGES TO KEEP MORE OF THE MARINE THEIR COMFORT.

WE ARE CLOSE TO THE 70 DEGREE MARK GOING INTO THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

MAYBE A BIT WARMER OVER THE WEEKEND.

SOME INLAND LOCATIONS ARE LOOKING AT 70s BUT, BY TUESDAY, WE SHOULD BE CLOSE TO THE LOWER 80s.

THE MOUNTAINS, PRETTY COMFORTABLE WITH JUST A FEW PASSING CLOUDS.

MID-70s ON WEDNESDAY.

FOR THE DESERT, IT LOOKS LIKE WE WILL BE CLOSE TO THE TRIPLE DIGIT MARK.

REPORTING FOR KPBS NEWS I AM ACCUWEATHER METEOROLOGIST MELISSA CONSTANZER.

>>> SOME PATIENTS OF SCRIPPS HEALTH SAY THEY CAN ONCE AGAIN ACCESS THEIR RECORDS ONLINE AFTER A RANSOM WHERE ATTACK FOUR WEEKS AGO.

SOME PATIENT APPOINTMENTS, BLOODWORK AND OTHER PROCEDURES HAVE BEEN RESCHEDULED OR OUTSOURCED.

SOME CANCER PATIENTS ARE BEING TREATED AT UC SAN DIEGO HEALTH AND SHARP HOSPITALS FOR NOW.

>>> OR THAN HALF OF THE U.S. POPULATION IS VACCINATED AGAINST CORONAVIRUS WITH A VACCINE DEVELOPED IN RECORD TIME.

WE HAVE MORE ON HOW TO KEEP THE VACCINATION SAFE AND EFFECTIVE.

>> Reporter: BEFORE THE COVID- 19 VACCINE IS INJECTED INTO YOUR ARM, EVERYTHING HAS TO BE DONE EXACTLY RIGHT.

INCLUDING GENTLY SWIRLING IT, JUST SO.

OTHERWISE, IT MAY NOT WORK.

>> THE ACTIVE INGREDIENT IN THEIR IS SUSPENDED IN AN AGENT.

IT IS SUSPENDED IN LIPID NANOPARTICLES.

>> THEY BASICALLY, FAT GLOBULES.

THESE NANOPARTICLES PROTECT MESSENGER RNA.

THE MOLECULE CARRIES THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT THE BODY WILL USE TO BUILD A DEFENSE AGAINST COVID-19.

>> IF YOU SHAKE IT, THE MANUFACTURER SAYS IT COULD BREAK DOWN THE LIPID STRUCTURE.

>> THAT CAN EXPOSE AND DESTROY THE RNA.

THE JOHNSON & JOHNSON VACCINE USES DNA BUT, IT MAY NOT COVER ENOUGH TO BUILD UP IMMUNITY.

MISHAPS CAN REDUCE THE POTENCY.

EVERY DOSE COUNTS AS NEW VARIANTS ARE COMING UP.

>> YOU NEED ROUGHLY 75% OR GREATER.

>> PROPER HANDLING AND THEY WANT TO VACCINATE AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE.

>> EACH OF THE APPROVED EMERGENCY VACCINES HAVE DIFFERENT HANDLING REQUIREMENTS.

>> ONCE WE GET TO A HIGHER TEMPERATURE, THERE IS LESS STABILITY.

>> PFIZER REQUIRES AN ULTRACOLD FREEZER.

THE MODERNA VACCINE DOES NOT NEED SUCH EXTREME COLD AND CAN LAST IN A STANDARD FRIDGE FOR UP TO 30 DAYS.

JOHNSON & JOHNSON VACCINES CAN LAST UP TO THREE MONTHS IN THE REFRIGERATOR.

THE TEMPERATURES NEED TO BE CAREFULLY MONITORED TO MAKE SURE THAT VACCINES STAY WITHIN THE RANGE THAT MANUFACTURERS PRESCRIBE.

>> IT IS HOOKED UP TO OUR WI-FI AND IF THE UNIT GOES OUT OF RANGE THAN WE ARE NOTIFIED IMMEDIATELY.

>> THE SPECIFICS ARE BASED ON HOW MANUFACTURERS DECIDED TO TEST PRODUCTS.

PFIZER INITIALLY TESTED IT USING EXTREMELY LOW TEMPERATURES.

FURTHER TESTING SHOWED IT REMAINED VIABLE STORED UNDER WARM CONDITIONS FOR A SET PERIOD OF TIME.

EVEN THOUGH THE JOHNSON & JOHNSON VACCINE ARRIVES FROZEN, GUIDELINES DIRECT VACCINATE IS TO STORE IT IN A REFRIGERATOR.

WANTS A VIAL OF ANY OF THE VACCINATION IS OPENED, THE CLOCK DOES START TAKING ON HOW LONG IT WILL LAST.

>> YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT HOW MUCH YOU NEED TO PULL OUT AND PUT INTO A ROOM.

HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN IN A ROOM.

HOW LONG SINCE YOU TOOK OUT THE FIRST DOSE.

>> IT'S ALMOST AS IF YOU WERE DEALING WITH CHOCOLATE.

IF YOU ENCAPSULATE CHOCOLATE, IN A CODING LIKE AN EMINEM, YOU CAN MAINTAIN IT FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME.

>> SOME VACCINATE OR IS -- IT IS UNCLEAR EXACTLY HOW MUCH SUNLIGHT, WARMTH OR MOVEMENT IS TOO MUCH.

>> WE KNOW THAT LIGHT FROM ROOMS, IT CAN ACTUALLY INTERFERE WITH THE INTEGRITY OF THE PRODUCT.

>> THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT DON'T HAVE EXACT PARAMETERS AROUND THEM.

WHAT WE DO IS THE BEST THAT WE CAN TO MITIGATE POTENTIAL LOSS.

>> REQUIRED TRAINING FOR ANYBODY HANDLING THE VACCINE MINIMIZES RISK AND PEOPLE MUST TAKE PROMPT ACTION IF STORAGE TEMPERATURES GO OUT OF RANGE.

>> WE IMMEDIATELY PUT IT INTO THE FREEZER BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT FURTHER DEGRADATION OF THE VACCINE.

THEN WE NOTIFY THE MANUFACTURER AND THE COUNTY THAT WE HAVE A BATCH THAT CAME THAT WAS NOT GOOD, SO THEY CAN FOLLOW UP ON THAT.

>> IT IS UNLIKELY THAT ANY MAJOR MISHANDLING THAT WOULD COMPROMISE THE VACCINE WOULD BE UNNOTICED.

VACCINES OFTEN HAVE AMPLE SUPPLY OF THE ACTIVE INGREDIENT THAT CREATES THE IMMUNE RESPONSE.

SO, ANY MINOR SLIPUPS WOULD LIKELY NOT REDUCE THEIR EFFECTIVENESS.

BUT, CAREFUL HANDLING IS NECESSARY TO REACH HEARD IMMUNITY AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
