working even against delta. >> well, today was a big day because were bidding and mortality weekly report from the centers for disease control came out with through studies that address this question of how much protection you get from the vaccine compared to people work needed and the data was incredibly compelling. so important because its data about the delta virus. you know, a lot of the other data we had was about the ancestral strain from that. >> there's a difference in efficacy between the 3 vaccines combating delta moderna the best followed by pfizer and then was the 3rd most effective 95% for moderna, 80 for pfizer and 64 jnj. so scientists and health officials will certainly consider that when they start recommending booster shots and what type of vaccine people will get when they get the booster shots. the cdc's director. rochelle walensky

school district 6500 students missed one or more due to the coronavirus. it is estimated that meetings and conventions generate 3 to 4 billion dollars every year in san francisco in normal years. that's when you add up the cost of putting on the convention of the meeting as well as all the money people attending those things spent on hotels restaurants shopping. >> well, the city hasn't seen that kind of money before covid-19 hit. but now conventions are returning to the mosconi center for the first time in 18 months. but first, dan kerman shows us. >> the sidewalks in front of san francisco's moscone center are crowded again and not with those seeking a covid-19 vaccine. these are some of the 3,000 people attending the california dental association's annual conference. it's nice to be here. >> and just finally be able to safely do something. >> rather than being at home think they did a really good job and everyone has to be vaccinated. >> making sure vaccination so.
