Daily coronavirus deaths in India climbed to a record of more than 4,000 as the pandemic intensified in the world’s worst-hit nation.
The European Union approved a contract with Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE for as many as 1.8 billion vaccine doses as the region bulks up its vaccination campaign through 2023.
The U.S. looked set for its first week since mid-September in which daily cases have not exceeded 50,000. Meanwhile, the pace of vaccinations slowed, with some states turning away doses from their federal government allocations amid falling demand for shots.

Premium Content The EU last month launched legal action against the pharmaceutical giant for vaccine delivery shortfalls that hampered efforts to kickstart inoculations across the bloc.

Mr Breton said this did not necessarily mean the end of the European Union s vaccine dealings with the British-Swedish firm. It s not done. Wait and see, he said.
