>> Reporter: AS OF NOW, THE NEARLY $2 TRILLION PLAN HAS NO CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICAN SUPPORT.

>> THIS IS THE WRONG PLAN, AT THE WRONG TIME AND FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS.

>> Reporter: BUT DEMOCRATS STICKING TOGETHER ARE MOVING TOWARD A HOUSE BUILT BY THE END OF THE WEEK.

THE DISTRICT IS PROVIDING A CLASSROOM AIDE TO MAKE SURE STUDENTS ARE STAYING SAFE AND ON TRACK.

SHE SAID THIS WILL BE A HUGE HELP AS SHE SIMULTANEOUSLY IS TEACHING STUDENTS IN PERSON AND VIRTUALLY.

IF THEY ARE HAVING A PROBLEM IN PERSON, THAT SECOND ADULT CAN GO ASSIST THEM, WHILE I AM WORKING ON THE LESSON.

>> Reporter: DISTRICTWIDE ABOUT 20,000 STUDENTS QUALIFIED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE LEARNING LABS.

>>> WORKERS' RIGHTS WILL HAVE A STRONGER FOCUS WITH THE ADOPTION OF A NEW INITIATIVE FROM THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.

TODAY DAS SUMMER STEFAN ANNOUNCED THE WORKPLACE JUSTICE UNIT.

WHICH PROTECTS AGAINST WAGE THEFT, LABOR TRAFFICKING AND SUPPORTS WORKPLACE VICTIMS.

SHE SAYS WAGE THEFT AND WORKPLACE ABUSES ARE UNDERREPORTED, FOR FEAR OF RETALIATION.

>> WAGE THEFT IS IN FACT A CRIME.

IT IS JUST LIKE IF SOMEBODY WALKED INTO A STORE AND STOLE A WHOLE BUNCH OF THINGS OFF THE SHELF.

THAT'S THE SAME THING WHEN AN EMPLOYER DOES NOT PAY THE WAGES THAT ARE EARNED.

THAT IS ANOTHER FORM OF THEFT.

AND IT IS A SERIOUS CRIME.

>> WAGE THEFT PRODUCES UNFAIR COMPETITION THAT DRIVES LEGITIMATE CONTRACTORS AND SMALL BUSINESSES OUT OF THE MARKET, WHO CAN'T COMPETE WITH UNSCRUPULOUS EMPLOYERS.

THIS INITIATIVE STEMS FROM A COMMUNITY-BASED FEEDBACK PANEL, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COUNTY SUPERVISOR NATHAN FLETCHER, TO FIND WAYS TO BETTER PROTECT WORKERS ACROSS THE COUNTY.

>>> A POLICE OFFICER IS EXPECTED TO MAKE A FULL RECOVERY AFTER HE WAS SHOT, RESPONDING TO A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CALL IN ESCONDIDO.

BUT OUR INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER JILL CASTELLANO SAYS THE SITUATION HASN'T GOTTEN MUCH BETTER.

>> Reporter: GUESTS AND EMPLOYEES OF THE CROWNE PLAZA HOTEL IN MISSION VALLEY SAY DELAYED MEDICATIONS, UNTRAINED STAFF AND THREATENING SECURITY GUARDS ARE CAUSING SERIOUS PROBLEMS.

THE COUNTY HAS USED THE HOTEL SINCE MARCH TO ISOLATE PEOPLE LIKE WILLIAM MORRIS, AND HIS WIFE MARTHA.

THEY LIVED IN THEIR SUV WITH THEIR DOG UNTIL THE COUNTY SENT THEM TO THE GRAND PLAZA IN NOVEMBER, WHEN MARTHA TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID-19.

>> I WOULDN'T PUT MY WORST ENEMY IN A PLACE LIKE THAT.

BUT THOSE SECURITY GUARDS, THEY SURE DON'T HAVE EMPATHY FOR PEOPLE, COMPASSION FOR PEOPLE AND THERE ARE A BUNCH OF ANIMALS RUNNING WILD.

>> Reporter: CALLS TO THE SAN DIEGO POLICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT THE TIME PLAZA HAVE TRIPLED SINCE THE START OF THE PANDEMIC.

MANY OF THOSE CALLS CONCERNED MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, INCLUDING SUICIDE THREATS.

THOSE CALLS CONTINUED, EVEN AFTER THE COUNTY SIGNED IT CONTRACT FOR $30 MILLION WITH A COMPANY CALLED EQUIS WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS, TO RUN ALL THE OPERATIONS STARTING IN AUGUST.

EQUIS IS NOW IN CHARGE OF SUPPLYING FOOD, MEDICATIONS, SECURITY AND ALL OTHER SERVICES TO GUESTS ISOLATING IN THE CROWNE PLAZA.

THE COUNTY SPOKESPERSON SAID WHEN ISSUES OF ARREST OF THE CROWNE PLAZA THEY HAVE BEEN IMMEDIATELY ADDRESSED.

AND EQUIS REPRESENTATIVE SAID THEY HAVE IMPLEMENT POLICIES AND TRAINED STAFF TO HELP PEOPLE IN ISOLATION AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

>>> LAUNCHING A COVID-19 VACCINATION SITE TAKES METICULOUS PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT.

KPBS IS TRACKING THE PROGRESS AT A LOCAL COMMUNITY CLINIC IN AN ONGOING SERIES.

IN PART TWO, OUR HEALTH REPORTER SPOTLIGHTS THE RIGID HANDLING PROCEDURES NECESSARY TO ENSURE EVERY DOSE REMAINS VIABLE.

>> Reporter: A GENTLE SWIRL OF THE COVID-19 VACCINE VIAL IS CRITICAL.

ANYTHING MORE COULD RENDER THE DOSE AND EFFECTIVE, FOR IT FILLS A SYRINGE AND PENETRATES AN ARM.

THE RISK BEGINS EVEN BEFORE THE SHIFT FILES CROSS THE THRESHOLD OF FAMILY HEALTH CENTERS AT SAN DIEGO.

>> THEY ARE PACKED CAREFULLY, TO MINIMIZE DISTURBANCE.

>> Reporter: LISA DUNCAN IS VICE PRESIDENT OF NURSING AND CLINICAL COMPLAINTS AT FAMILY HEALTH CENTERS.

SHE OVERSEES VACCINATIONS.

>> THEY ARE FROZEN.

THAT HELPS THEM NOT GET SLOSHED AROUND.

>> Reporter: IT CAN'T EVEN BE RELOCATED OFF-SITE WITHOUT A PRIOR OKAY.

>> THEY CAN MAYBE HAVE ONE TRANSPORT THAT HAS TO BE APPROVED IN ADVANCE TO TRANSFER VACCINE SUPPLIES.

SO THAT EVERYONE KNOWS WHERE THE VACCINES ARE.

>> Reporter: THE VACCINES FRAGILITY ADDS AN EXTRA LAYER OF COMPLEXITY FOR PROVIDERS.

THEY MUST INJECT DOSES QUICKLY TO REACH THE COUNTY VACCINATION GOAL BY JULY.

BUT THEY ALSO MUST TAKE GREAT CARE.

MISHANDLING CAN DESTROY THE VACCINES POTENCY.

AND ONGOING SUPPLY CHALLENGES MEAN BACKUP DOSES ARE PRACTICALLY NONEXISTENT.

>> IT'S A GREAT ART AND SCIENCE OF MANAGING THIS VACCINE.

>> Reporter: FAMILY HEALTH CENTER'S CURRENT SMALL-SCALE OPERATION IN THEIR BREAK ROOM IS SORT OF A TRIAL RUN.

THEY ARE PLANNING TO VACCINATE HUNDREDS A DAY AT AN UPCOMING SITE OUTSIDE THEIR LOGAN HEIGHTS CLINIC.

BUT THE NATION'S LIMITED VACCINE SUPPLIES HAVE DELAYED ITS OPENING, MAKING PROPER HANDLING THAT MUCH MORE CRITICAL.

>> THIS IS A CONFERENCE ROOM THAT WE HAVE REPURPOSED FOR STAGING THE VACCINE.

WE HAVE A FREEZER HERE THAT, WHEN THE VACCINE ARRIVES FROM THE MANUFACTURER, WE PUT IT RIGHT INTO THE FREEZER.

>> Reporter: THE FIRM ASCETICAL GREAT FREEZER, THAT IS NO BIGGER THAN A COLLEGE DORM FRIDGE, IS THE KEY COMPONENT.

ANYTHING OUTSIDE THE REQUIRED COLD TEMPERATURES TRIGGERS AN ALARM.

>> IT IS HOOKED UP TO OUR WI-FI AND IT WILL SEND US A MESSAGE WHENEVER, OR IF- HOPEFULLY DOESN'T HAPPEN- BUT IF THE UNIT IS OUT OF RANGE WE ARE NOTIFIED IMMEDIATELY.

>> Reporter: BUT THE VACCINE MUST BE THAWED BEFORE CAN BE USED.

ABLE LAST UP TO 30 DAYS IN THE FRIDGE, BUT ONLY HOURS IN THE ROOM WHERE THE DOSING TAKES PLACE.

AND ONCE IT IS PIERCED IT HAS A SIX HOUR SHELF LIFE.

>> YOU'RE CONSTANTLY LOOKING AT HOW MUCH NEEDS TO GO INTO THE REFRIGERATOR, HOW MUCH DO WE PULL OUT, HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN IN THE ROOM?

HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN OPEN SINCE YOU TOOK OUT THE FIRST DOSE.

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

>> Reporter: THE DEPUTY HEALTH COMMISSIONER FOR WESTCHESTER COUNTY AND NEW YORK CREDITS ANOTHER SCIENTIST WITH THE ANALOGY, BUT RECOUNTS IT TO EXPLAIN THE VULNERABILITY OF THE KEY INGREDIENT IN THE VACCINE, RIBONUCLEIC ACID, OR RNA.

>> WITH CHOCOLATE, IF IT GETS TO A CERTAIN TEMPERATURE, IT WILL MELT.

>> Reporter: HENCE THE COLD.

>> THERE ARE ENZYMES THAT WILL DESTROY THE INTEGRITY THAT WILL NOT BE ACTIVE WHEN YOU HAVE A VERY LOW TEMPERATURE.

BUT WHEN YOU HAVE A HIGHER TEMPERATURE, THOSE ENZYMES WILL BECOME ACTIVATED.

>> Reporter: PROVIDERS LIKE FAMILY HEALTH CENTER'S HAVE ORDINATOR'S WHOSE SOLE JOB IS TO MONITOR THE SAFE HANDLING AND STORAGE OF VACCINES.

>> ALL OF US ARE VERY MUCH AWARE OF THE PARAMETERS AND BACK EACH OTHER UP ON THAT.

BUT GENERALLY ONE PERSON IS IN CHARGE OF MAKING SURE THAT THE SUPPLY IS MOVING OUT OF THE REFRIGERATOR APPROPRIATELY.

AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, EVERYBODY STARTS SHARING THE VIALS, SO WE DON'T OPEN ONE UP.

>> Reporter: EVERY DETAIL HERE WILL BE DUPLICATED AND EXPANDED AT LOGAN HEIGHTS.

FAMILY HEALTH CENTERS IS HELPING AND WILL ACCOMMODATE UP TO 750 PEOPLE A DAY.

BUT VACCINE SUPPLY SHORTAGES MEAN IT IS ON HOLD FOR NOW.

THEY ARE HOPING SHIPMENTS WILL FLOW EARLY NEXT MONTH, THANKS TO AN UPCOMING FEDERAL PROGRAM THAT PRIORITIZES COMMUNITY CLINICS.

>>> SNOW AND RECORD LOW TEMPERATURES HAVE STALLED SHIPMENTS AND DELIVERIES OF COVID-19 VACCINES ACROSS THE U.S., INCLUDING HERE IN SAN DIEGO.

MANDY GAITHER HAS MORE AND WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT VACCINE DELAYS.

>> Reporter: WHEN IT COMES TO COVID-19 VACCINES, IT'S A WAITING GAME.

>> WE KNOW MANY AMERICANS ARE AWAITING THE SECOND DOSE.

AND MANY MORE, THE FIRST DOSE.

>> Reporter: BOTH VACCINES ON THE U.S.

MARKET REQUIRE TWO DOSES, INTENDED TO BE GIVEN 21 DAYS APART FOR PFIZER AND 28 DAYS APART FROM MODERNA.

BUT IF YOUR APPOINTMENT FOR A SECOND VACCINE DOSE WAS CANCELED BECAUSE OF WEATHER DELAYS OR POWER OUTAGES, THE CDC SAYS YOU SHOULD STILL HAVE TIME TO GET FULLY VACCINATED.

AND THAT SECOND DOSE WILL BE ADMINISTERED UP TO SIX WEEKS AFTER THE FIRST SHOT.

>> WE ARE ASKING VACCINE ADMINISTRATION SITES TO EXTEND THEIR HOURS EVEN FURTHER, AND OFFERED ADDITIONAL APPOINTMENTS .

AND TO TRY TO RESCHEDULE THE VACCINATIONS OVER THE COMING DAYS AND WEEKS AS A SIGNIFICANT PART SUPPLY ARRIVES.

>> Reporter: TWO LETTERS TO MAJOR MEDICAL GENERALS PROVIDED FOR FUEL.

THE ARGUMENT THAT WITH THE VACCINE SCARCITY, PEOPLE CAN IMMEDIATELY DOUBLE THE SUPPLY FOR OTHERS.

THE TOP U.S.

HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY IT IS TOO RISKY.

>> THE REASON IS, EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN GET A FAIR DEGREE OF QUOTE PROTECTION, AFTER A SINGLE DOSE, IT CLEARLY IS NOT DURABLE.

>> Reporter: LAST WEEK VACCINATION NUMBERS WERE IMPACTED BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER.

AS EVERYTHING BEGINS TO GET BACK ON TRACK, WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS ARE ASKING STATES, VACCINATION SITES, AND THUS GIVING VACCINATIONS, TO HELP THE COUNTRY PATCH UP.
