she's in the newsroom. steph this makes the 15th now case of blood clots. >> as far as we know it is the 16th reported case in the country. however doctors have made it clear there could be other cases that have yet to be reported or formally diagnosed. the 15 previous blood clot cases all occurred in women. however this case out of ucsf is a man in his 30s. >> a patient at ucsf health is the country's first known male case of a rare but severe blood clotting condition reported following use of the johnson & johnson vaccine. the san francisco resident currently in his 30s was diagnosed with tts. last wednesday april 21 21, the pain started in his lower back. >> the clot presented pain and swelling. if it's pain in one leg, it's like when you wake up in the middle of the night and you have a cramp in your leg. it's that kind of pain.

>> reporter: the man was taken to the hospital 13 days after receiving the vaccine. >> the guy knew enough to go seek care. the er figured out right away. he got appropriate treatment. he's going to be, he'll come out of this fine. >> while this is the nation's first male case of the one dose vaccine, ucsf chief pharmacy executive jesse codis explains there was another case reported before. >> there is a male in the clinical trial that also had trombosis. >> reporter: the cdc approved the use of the vaccine last friday. but not in california yet. >> the department of public health in california would like to look at the data before releasing those doses back. but again, the percentage. what i see is a very, very low,

low risk. >> reporter: abc 7's analysis says j&j vaccines only amount for 4% of the vaccine doses given out in california. alameda at 6.4%. >> it's going to open up the vaccine chain for us to have more j&j vaccine. however we're already seeing a decrease in demand. the bigger issue i think is, making the case to people the to get vaccinated. >> now there are around 2,000 j&j appointments currently waiting in the cue but that's expected to significantly increase once the state finishes its review. >> before you go, two questions

please, how many j&j doses does the state have at the moment and when do we expect them to be able available. >> the state has 1.1 million johnson & johnson vaccines. that's prior to the pod. and it's not counting the ones that will become available this week. >> thanks steph. in the south bay, a new program in santa clara county should make it easier for seniors and people with disabilities to get vaccinated. chris nguyen has more. >> reporter: in the bay area's largest county, a new effort aims to reach some of the most as as a our community. >> supervisor cindy chavez says equitable access to top of mind. >> we have centers that are vaccinating all over the

county. so we're really trying to make sure that everybody, everybody has access to the vaccine. >> will provide para transit services at no cost to those who need it. robinson accompanied ferdinand to the county fairgrounds. >> it really helps a lot bringing my father who's disabled. i was hoping that people who need this help will try to get a ride from that. >> reporter: vta officials say, people can select any location in the country. >> if they can't get to the rail way station or the nearest bus stop. >> reporter: so far, roughly 75% of seniors 70 and up have been vaccinate bud reaching the

final chunk will be harder. >> the final 25% are those who have barriers. >> a focus on ensuring that no resident is left behind. in san jose, chris nguyen, abc 7 news. we have some vaccination milestones to share today. contra costa health officials say a million people in the county received at least one dose in vaccine. vaccination sites are now open to everyone in marin county. 2/3 of people living in san francisco have received at least one shot of the vaccine. the groups behind the effort to recall the

gotten enough signatures to. here are the numbers from the state secretary's office. 1.6 valid signatures have been submitted and verified. the initial effort 10th. the people are upset about his handling of the pandemic. counties still have until april 29th. so a few days from now to submit the rest of the verified signatures. that will be follow bid a 30 day period where people with withdrawal their signatures. the head of the recall efforts really says this group has done the impossible but that their work is just beginning and about 45 minutes ago, we did hear from governor newsom, he tweeted out his thoughts during what his campaign is doing framing it as a republican effort. he called it the republican

recall. he says it threatens our values and seems to undo the progress we've made and passing common sense gun violence solutions. that's the statement from governor newsom. this will only be the second time that a a recall. >> we saw this with gray davis who was recalled. and arnold schwarzenegger got the job. and results from the 2020 census show as you know our state will lose a seat. the others are new york, pennsylvania, ohio, illinois

michigan and west virginia. for california's todays change means the state will now have 52 seats in the house of representatives instead of 53. so certainly a very interesting development. liz i know you've been looking into this and why it's so important and what it means exactly. >> california has lost a seat but 6 states gained seats including texas who gained two seats and florida which gained one. for california it comes to slow population growth. it's not that we're not growing it's just that we're not growing as fast as other places. >> reporter: for the first time in california history, the state has lost a congressional seat. instead of 53 house seats we'll have 52. the change comes after the change in california residence growth. >> the state is actually growing it's just not growing at the same rate that it was in

prior decades. >> reporter: states like texas will gain two house seats and florida will gain one. but why. >> why california hasn't grown so much in the past i think there's a number of factors. >> for one, more people have left the state than moved to it. that idea of a california exdouse promoted by the california gop which put out a statement today blaming governor newsom for policies that are driving people away. but bryan mitchell says it's more than that. >> i understand that people want to look at those policy areas and point to people getting those uhaul trucks and moving across the country. but really, it should be recognized the population is growing and that the birthrate is a real driving factor in our population change not being as rapid as it was in the 70s, 80s and 90s. >> reporter: the abc

shows, population rate has not increased at a fast rate. the data showing population won't be available in the later this year. but the bay area could be safe from losing a district. >> the bay area as a whole the nine county barrier region. right now it's proskwrebgtded to essentially gain maybe projected essentially to gain maybe 1/5. >> california still has the largest population of any state and the most congressional seats. so even though this does mean we're losing representation electoral college groups we still as a state have a lot political power.
