A VACCINE COULD SOON BE ON ITS
WAY.
>> WHAT ARIZONA HAS PLANNED FOR
THE BIG ROLLOUT PLUS MACAROONS
THAT MATTER HOW A VALLEY TEEN
IS HELPING ANIMALS AND SICK
CHILDREN ACROSS ARIZONA AND ONE
GROUP IS MAKING SURE NO CHILD
MISSES OUT ON CHRISTMAS THIS
YEAR.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO DELIVER SOME
JOY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON.
TWELVE TO TWELVE STARTS RIGHT
NOW.
TWELVE MINUTES.
NO COMMERCIALS.
ON TV AND ON THE GO ON THE
TWELVE NEWS APP.
ON THE WEB SITE AND ON YOUTUBE.
HEY GUYS, WE DON'T KNOW WHO I
AM.
THAT'S BECAUSE I'M KIND OF NEW
TO THIS SHOW.
MY NAME IS MITCH.
IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.
LET'S GET RIGHT TO OUR BIG
STORY HAPPENING AT 12:00.
IT'S A HUGE SPIKE IN CORONA
VIRUS CASES.
THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
REPORTED MORE THAN 12000 NEW
CASES TODAY ALONG WITH TWENTY
THREE NEW DEATHS.
BUT KEEP IN MIND TUESDAY'S
NUMBERS ARE GENERALLY HIGHER
DUE TO A DELAY IN REPORTING.
SO IF YOU HAVE AVERAGE OUT
YESTERDAY'S CONFIRMED CASES AND
TODAY'S THAT'S STILL NEARLY
7000 CASES WHICH IS STILL HIGH.
THE NUMBERS ARE GETTING WORSE
BUT THERE IS HOPE.
AND WHAT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING
FOR IS FINALLY HERE THIS
MORNING A WOMAN IN THE U.K.
OFFICIALLY BECAME THE FIRST
PERSON TO GET PFIZER'S COVERED
19 VACCINE NURSES AND DOCTORS
CHEERED ON THE 90 YEAR OLD
GRANDMOTHER AFTER GETTING THE
FIRST DOSE OF THE VACCINE.
>> HERE'S WHAT SHE HAD TO SAY
ABOUT MAKING HISTORY.
I JUST THINK BOFORS OKAY
BECAUSE BECAUSE IT'S HISTORY
AND IT'S THE BEST THING THAT'S
EVER HAPPENED AT THE MOMENT TO
DO THIS.
OKAY.
LET'S JUST SAY IF I CAN DO
PRONATED IN THREE WEEKS SHE'LL
GET A SECOND DOSE.
BRITAIN IS NOW THE FIRST
COUNTRY TO DISTRIBUTE PFIZER'S
VACCINE.
PEOPLE OVER 80 HOME CARE
WORKERS AND FRONTLINE HEALTH
CARE STAFF WILL BE THE FIRST IN
LINE TO GET IT.
THOSE NUMBERS COME AS ARIZONA
COULD BE ONE WEEK AWAY FROM
RECEIVING ITS FIRST DOSES OF
PFIZER'S KOVIK 19 VACCINE
ITSELF.
AND WE ARE LEARNING MORE ABOUT
HOW MARICOPA COUNTY PUBLIC
HEALTH PLANS TO ROLL IT OUT.
HERE'S TEAM WAS JOSH SANDERS TO
EXPLAIN PLANNING THAT VACCINE A
WHICH IS PFIZER IS THE FIRST
VACCINE THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE
.
MARICOPA COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH
STANDS READY TO RECEIVE 40000
DOSES PFIZER VACCINE AFTER FDA
APPROVAL LATER THIS WEEK.
THE CDC IS ASKING ARIZONA TO
CONSIDER PLANNING BASED ON TWO
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOSES BY THE
END OF THE YEAR.
THIS WILL BE THE BEGINNING OF A
THREE PHASED APPROACH BEGINNING
WITH PHASE ONE A IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THE STATE RECEIVES THE
VACCINE HERE IN MARICOPA COUNTY
THAT WILL BE OUR FRONTLINE
HEALTH CARE WORKERS WHO ARE
MOST LIKELY TO BE AT RISK AND
EXPOSED THAT POSITIVE PATIENTS,
STAFF AND RESIDENTS IN LONG
TERM CARE FACILITIES WILL BE
ADDRESSED THREE SEPARATE CDC
PROGRAM.
THE COUNTY WILL INITIALLY HAVE
FIVE REGIONAL POINTS OF
DISTRIBUTION FOR THE VACCINE.
FLANAGAN SAYS THE INITIAL PHASE
WILL BE A SLOW DRIP DUE TO
LIMITED DOSES AVAILABLE
TARGETING ESSENTIAL WORKERS
LIKE LAW ENFORCEMENT AND
TEACHERS AS OF NOW PHASE TWO
AND THREE TARGETING THE GENERAL
POPULATION IS SCHEDULED TO
BEGIN IN APRIL THROUGH NEXT
SUMMER.
>> JOSH SANDERS TWELVE
NEWS LATER TODAY PRESIDENT
TRUMP IS EXPECTED TO SIGN AN
EXECUTIVE ORDER PRIORITIZING
AMERICANS FOR THE DISTRIBUTION
OF PFIZER'S VACCINE.
THE ORDER IS SUPPOSED TO MAKE
SURE THAT SHIPMENTS GO TO
AMERICANS FIRST BEFORE PEOPLE
IN OTHER NATIONS.
PFIZER IS AN AMERICAN COMPANY
BUT HAS COMMITMENTS TO MULTIPLE
OTHER COUNTRIES ALTHOUGH IT
SEEMS LIKE THE VACCINE IS
CLOSER THAN EVER UNTIL IT'S
HERE.
>> IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE ALL
DO OUR PART TO HELP STOP THE
SPREAD.
WE ARE NOW SEEING THE IMPACT OF
THANKSGIVING GATHERING'S AND
MORE HOLIDAYS ARE JUST AROUND
THE CORNER.
DR. ANTHONY FAUCI SAYS THE
NUMBERS ARE EXPECTED TO GET
WORSE IN THE COMING DAYS.
BUT THE FULL BRUNT OF THE
THANKSGIVING HAS NOT YET BEEN
FELT.
IT'S USUALLY TWO TO TWO AND A
HALF WEEKS FOLLOWING THE EVENT
IN THIS CASE.
THE EVENT IS THE THANKSGIVING
WEEKEND.
DR. FOUSHEE SAYS THE NUMBERS
WE'RE SEEING NOW ARE MORE THAN
LIKELY RELATED TO THE PRE
HOLIDAY SHOPPING THAT EVERYONE
DID AHEAD OF THANKSGIVING.
IT IS TERRITORIAL CUP WEEK AND
THIS YEAR THE MATCH UP BETWEEN
ARIZONA STATE AND THE
UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA WILL LOOK
MUCH DIFFERENT.
YOU GUESSED IT BECAUSE OF THE
PANDEMIC.
>> NO FANS WILL BE ALLOWED THIS
YEAR AT ARIZONA STADIUM IN
TUCSON AND ONLY A SMALL NUMBER
OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY WILL BE
ALLOWED INSIDE.
AND IT IS NOT JUST A BATTLE
OVER KOBAN 19 BETWEEN THESE TWO
TEAMS.
BOTH OF THEM ARE STILL LOOKING
FOR THEIR FIRST WIN THIS
SEASON.
KICKOFF IS SET FOR FRIDAY AT
FIVE P.M. WE KNOW MANY OF YOU
STILL HAVE QUESTIONS WHEN IT
COMES TO THE PANDEMIC AND
THAT'S WHY DR. FRANK VECCHIA
WITH VALLEY WISE HELP WILL BE
ON TODAY AND TOMORROW MORNING
HE'LL BE ANSWERING YOUR
QUESTIONS LIVE.
>> SO MAKE SURE TO TEXT IN YOUR
QUESTIONS THE SIX ZERO TWO FOUR
FOUR FOUR TWELVE TWELVE.
AND AGAIN THAT'S TOMORROW
MORNING ON TODAY AND AC WE ARE
JUST OVER A MONTH AWAY FROM
PRESIDENT ELECT JOE BIDEN'S
INAUGURATION CEREMONY.
JUST YESTERDAY BIDEN FORMALLY
ANNOUNCED KEY MEMBERS OF HIS
HEALTH TEAM HE NOMINATED
CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL
HARVEY AIR BEZERRA TO BE HIS
HEALTH AND HUMAN SECTOR HUMAN
SERVICES SECRETARY RATHER.
DR. VIVEK MURTHY TO BE THE
SURGEON GENERAL AND DR. ANTHONY
FOUSHEE TO BE CHIEF MEDICAL
ADVISER UNCODED 19.
BIDEN IS EXPECTED TO NOMINATE
FOUR STAR ARMY GENERAL LLOYD
AUSTIN AS HIS SECRETARY OF
DEFENSE IF SELECTED AND
CONFIRMED BY THE SENATE,
GENERAL AUSTIN WOULD BECOME THE
FIRST BLACK MAN TO LEAD THE
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.
HE SERVED AS THE VICE CHIEF OF
STAFF FOR THE ARMY BEFORE
RETIRING IN 2016 AND AS A
FORMER COMMISSIONED OFFICER HE
WOULD REQUIRE A CONGRESSIONAL
WAIVER TO TAKE THE JOB.
IT IS BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE BUT
PROBABLY NOT THE DAY TO WASH
THEIR CAR.
WHY?
WELL THERE'S A CHANCE OF RAIN
BELIEVE IT OR NOT.
HERE'S JAMIE WITH YOU.
FOR ONE ONE FORECAST IT'S GOING
TO BE ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE MILD
DAYS IN THE VALLEY UPWARDS OF
SEVENTY NINE MAYBE 80 DEGREES
FOR TODAY.
WELL, ABOVE THE NORM AND
CLOSING IN ON THE RECORDS BUT
INCREASING CLOUD COVER FROM THE
SOUTHWEST.
THAT'S GOING TO HAMPER OUR
CHANCES OF HITTING THAT 80
DEGREE MARK.
A FAIR AMOUNT OF CLOUDS FOR THE
AFTERNOON AND THEN WE START TO
CLEAR THE SKIES OUT LATER ON
TONIGHT.
>> STILL MILD OVERNIGHT WE'LL
BUILD THE CLOUDS BACK IN AGAIN
FOR TOMORROW BUT PLENTY OF 70S
IN THE LOWER DESERT'S 50S VERY
COMMON ACROSS THE PLATEAU.
NOTICE YOU DO HAVE A LITTLE
MORE SUNSHINE TO THE NORTHEAST
.
THINNER CLOUD COVER GETTING IN
THERE AND PLENTY OF MID AND
UPPER 60S AROUND RIM COUNTRIES.
WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE FUTURE
CAST AGAIN.
YOU'LL SEE THE CLOUDS KIND OF
BUILDING AND MOVING THROUGH IT.
IT'LL DO THAT AGAIN FOR
WEDNESDAY BUT INTO WEDNESDAY
NIGHT THERE COMES THE RAINFALL.
THE MODELS STARTING TO FAVOR A
LITTLE MORE RAIN IN THE VALLEY
BELIEVE IT OR NOT.
SO THAT PATH IS STARTING TO
MOVE A LITTLE MORE TO THE NORTH
THAT HELPS THE VALLEY OUT
GETTING SOME RAINFALL TOTALS.
AND HERE'S A LOOK AT THAT
LATEST MODEL MAYBE A FEW TENTHS
OF AN INCH QUITE POSSIBLE.
BUT THAT PATH IS STILL A LITTLE
INDECISIVE WITHIN THE FORECAST
MODELS.
BUT RAIN IS LOOKING A LITTLE
MORE COMMON.
THE WHITE MOUNDS SOUTHERN
ARIZONA, EVEN NORTHEASTERN PART
OF THE STATE.
ALSO THE COOL DOWN COMES IN
WITH THAT.
YOU CAN SEE WE GO FROM THE MID
60S AND A CHANCE OF SHOWERS ON
THURSDAY AND WE HOLD ON TO
THOSE MID 60S INTO THE WEEKEND.
