Surges in Brazil and Canada also highlighted the persistent threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the virus’ death toll approaching 3.2 million even as many nations ramp up their vaccination drives.
India expanded its vaccination program to all adults on Saturday, but many of its states are struggling with shortages, despite an export freeze for shots produced in the country.
As India continues to see record COVID-19 case counts, Dr. Prabhat Jha said Canada could have done more to strengthen the global distribution of vaccines.
