We begin with the ramp-up of Canada’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout. After a rocky start in some regions, governments are promising faster and smoother operations as more vaccine doses arrive and mass vaccination clinics get underway. As of Wednesday, more than 2.6 million Canadians have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

The rules of who is eligible for a shot and how to book appointments depends on where you live. There is a patchwork of phone and online booking systems that is in place across Canada and not all of them are working smoothly. Heather Yourex-West has our top story.

The situation in Brazil is grim. It set a record for deaths from COVID-19, with more than 2,000 in a single day. Brazil has now taken over from the U.S. as the country with the most daily COVID-19 cases and deaths in the world. Every corner of that country is affected and the highly dangerous P.1 variant is driving the spread. As Crystal Goomansingh reports, hospitals and morgues are being pushed to the brink.

There are new revelations about sexual misconduct within the Canadian Armed Forces. A recently released document shows the number of reported incidents is on the rise.

As we approach a semblance of what appears to be a normal life, there will be a need to take stock of what’s been lost in the last year; including the toll on those who take care of COVID-19 patients. Caryn Lieberman has more.

Lots of people are short tempered and tired these days and it’s no wonder after a year of living though the pandemic. Of course, it is wise to look to the positives and some of us have embraced spending time at home. Mike Drolet examines the ups and downs from the last year.
