Good morning, Bay Area. It’s Tuesday, Dec. 15, and a classic film about San Francisco is getting a big honor. Here’s what you need to know to start your day.
‘The hope of this vaccine will not crush this curve’
Five Los Angeles health care workers were the first people in California to be immunized with the newly approved vaccine developed by Pfizer and the German company BioNTech on Monday.
San Francisco was one of four counties to receive the earliest shipments on Monday, with 2,000 doses arriving at San Francisco General Hospital. Immunizations there were expected to begin on Tuesday. Gov. Gavin Newsom said that 24 more locations would get shipments Tuesday and another five on Wednesday.
