Vaccines appear to be working: In Israel, 80% of people 60 and over received at least one vaccine dose by January 15. Now, Covid cases among that population are rapidly declining, down 46% compared to their mid-January peak.

You may get to an NFL stadium this year, after all: The league has offered up all 30 of its venues as mass vaccination sites.

More than 124 million doses have been administered globally, per Bloomberg. The US has given 38.5 million doses.
