cvs is in the yellow. as people blook, it dropped to 18 this afternoon. the opposite at rite aid n green, a bot we showed on twitter, doubled throughout the day today from 227 to 459. >> i noticed a lot of my friends went on at 5:00 p.m. and appointments opened up. i don't know if that is a good time frame. you never know. you don't have to find and get your appointment in the bay area. appointments are booked fast. can you go outside the area?

>> you can. the question is where. lots of opening in the central valley, if you're willing to drive. that is the same we have seen for a couple weeks now. yeah, if you're willing to get in the car, you might get a shot soon. the same day. here's the thing. new appointments might continue to go to these locations. heerp is why. pharmacies are using a social vulnerability target. and cvs said it's okay to cross county lines. >> they are going to kmounty clinics, thanks very much. travel outside the area and keep refreshing your computer. >> yeah. >> thanks very much. >> you're welcome. >> vaccine hunting and what to do with your vaccine card. we have tips for you, on our platform. look for the how-to play list. >> in the 5:00 news, theren with

are followed. we know it lasts at least six months and maybe longer. that group of folks will give us the information before the rest of us have to react to it. >> in theory, it could be like flu shot. any skepticism this is a business move? >> no, you know, personally, as an infectious disease doctor, many people think the shot will last a long time. a year or more, two years, three years. but given the variants, i think that is why people are bringing it up. who knows what the true motivation is. it's not a bad idea to put it in our minds so at least we have the preparation mentally. >> a couple questions. which arm should people get

injected with. does it depend? >> yeah, the idea is, you shouldn't get your vaccine in the dominant arm. the arm used with writing and throwing a ball. for me, the right arm. but the fact you move the arm more throughout the day is why some people think it's the right arm. it gets in the muscle, and inflammation cells go straight to where the shot is. there is no blood supply. the blood supply is slow. but if you move your arm around, you can get the blood supply going and mitigate that symptom. because it's a dominant arm, you are moving it around any way. >> thank you for your time and insight as usual. >> you're welcome. >> we are more information online. head to nbc bay area.com. click on how to get a vaccine appointment at the top of the page. a video circulating among san jose police is raising

pacific to see what it signals. and we have cooler temperatures and things are starting to equalize. it looks like it's starting to fade. that is the dig headline. what it brought is a huge ridge of high pressure that just blocked our chances of getting rainfall for much of the season. weapon la nina fading, any rain chances? this weekend, it doesn't look good for that. warm temperatures in the 80s. there is a chance for rainfall in here. we're seeing, la nina is starting to fade. as far as the weekend goes, a broad look at the seven-day forecast, we are warm. 86 sunday, monday, we are at 80. we will have more looks at the warm weather this weekend. raj, and the beach forecast. we will let you know how warm it's going to get coming up. >> yeah, i saw it. coming up, that is beach and

being the first black player in the game. >> if jackie was with us today, what would he be happy about and disappointed about? >> the same things that he would be happy about are the same things that he would be unhappy about. there should be 6% or 7% of american black players playing the game, and more black executives and more importantly, there should be a -- a 51% to 100% black-owned team. and i think those are the things that jackie would be unhappy about at this point in the game. >> were you surprised or in support of what major league baseball did, in terms of getting political, and moving the game, the all-star game out of atlanta. >> you know, unfortunate for the black businesses in atlanta. because obviously, a population

of 240,000 black people live in the area. some of their businesses are going to suffer. but i think the suffer is clear, that baseball does not want to partner with or be related to a law that's been passed that takes away our basic right, which is the trite vote. baseball has taken away the stance on that position. i support major league baseball. >> for the younger viewers out there, we have to share with them. you used to look mean. you're a nice guy but you used to look mean with the hat down low. you have a look -- do you ever use it? >> i never have to use it these days. nobody challenges me. and definitely, i'm not facing any hitters anymore. so i never have to get to that space anymore. >> help was amazing to watch as a player, a lot of good in his postplaying career as well. stay tuned for the 12th ep
