11:01 pm
if you're still waiting for your covid shot, this story might anger you. tonight that san francisco-based health care provider that said it caters to its members is accused of administering vaccines to members not eligible. >> the city department of health said it not only is not giving to one medical, terry mcsweeney is at one medical. how did this happen, terry? >> reporter: one medical agreed to provide vaccines to people 65 and older and some health care workers. according to the san francis public health department, it failed on both counts. one medical is say national health care provider based in san francisco that anyone can join for $199 per year. it agreed with the san francisco department of public health to provide vaccinations to those 65 and older. in-home care providers and health care workers such as
11:02 pm
emts, dentists and others who are unaffiliated with large health care providers. but tonight the county health department says it found people had received the vaccine who were under 65 and not health care workers. one medical's response indicates a number of doses were administered to patients who were under 65 who self-identified as phase 1-a health care workers but were not in-home support services workers. dph referrals or one medical health care worker employees. because of this and our inability to identify the 1-a status of the cohort, dph stopped allocating doses to one medical. not only that, the health department is taking back more than 1600 doses from one medical to distriblt to other health care providers. one medical said those we vaccinated within the notification in the sfdph specifically said they were eligible. we had permission to vaccine this group and were transparent with sfdph about our process and
11:03 pm
protocols to do so. in an interview earlier today, before the allegations against one medical surfaced, its chief medical officer dr. andrew diamond told our investigative unit about his concern in general about requiring people to show proof that they qualify to get vaccinated. >> a lot of the people in most dire need of vaccination really would not have the first idea as to how to upload something. and by being overly focused on that requirement, we risk vaccinating far fewer people than we need to at this point in time. >> reporter: one medical was allow today retain enough doses to provide second doses to people who already received their first dose according to the county. in san francisco, terry mcsweeney, nbc bay area news. >> another grim milestone late tonight. we learned california has become the first state to cross 50,000 deaths. you see the number there, 50,992 people have died from covid.
11:04 pm
one in ten covid deaths in the united states have happened here in california. >> also new at 11:00 tonight, oakland city leaders are calling for change at the coliseum mass vaccination site. it's been open for a week now and city leaders say they are already seeing a stark inequity in who is getting vaccinated. in a letter to the state and federal officials, vice mayor and trevor reed say communities with the most privilege are getting the highest proportion of vaccination appointments while the hardest hit communitiess suffering the worst impacts and harms are receiving the least amounts of vaccine. that is their claim. the city leaders want to change in the online system so that it only provides appointments to people living in target areas. they also want funding for community outreach groups to help sign people up to get vaccinated. at least 500 doses a day to be set aside for the mobile vaccination program that would help the homeless. vaccination site is run by both the state and fema. fema so far has not gotten back to us. >> we continue to follow the story that's caught a lot of
11:05 pm
attention when we first reported it last week. just how many people are actually showing up to get their vaccine and how many people are not. in santa clara county, two weeks ago more than 4500 people were no-shows for their appointments. tonight we have learned even more people missed their appointments last week. 5,000 people. county health officials say these rates of no-shows are normal. they expect 10 to 15% of people who make appointments to miss them for various reasons. however, the county says it has a built-in system around this assumption, so that no-shows don't result in wasted doses. one way the county does that is by overbooking appointments. >> okay, targeting the pharmacy inside target. a robbery and shooting at ate big box store in the east bay had customers and employees running and ducking for cover. tonight two people have been arrested. as nbc bay area's cheryl hurd tells us, a witness was there says it was not the shopping experience that she'd been hoping for.
