The Health Ministry reported 415 new covid-19 infections yesterday, down from 418 the day before. Egypt has now disclosed a total of 118,847 confirmed cases of covid-19. The ministry also reported 19 new deaths, bringing the country’s total death toll to 6,790.

Clad in tinfoil hats, the anti-vax movement is alive and well, with some 40% of Europeans saying in a survey they were hesitant or unwilling to take a covid-19 vaccine out of concern over their rushed development and testing process, the Wall Street Journal reports. Critically, many of those who don’t plan on taking the vaccine are otherwise not anti-vax, saying they and their children have taken other recommended inoculations. Some respondents have said that they could eventually take the vaccine, but only after enough time has passed that their efficacy and side effects are clearer.

Pushback or not, governments are rolling out plans for the vaccines: Canada has reserved enough doses of covid-19 vaccines for a population 4 times its size, making it the best-stocked country in the world and putting it on track to potentially start vaccinating its citizens by next week, Bloomberg reports. Meanwhile, Brazil plans to begin administering vaccines on 25 January in Sao Paulo, and is the first Latin American country to announce a concrete date for vaccination plans, despite the vaccine having yet to receive local regulatory approval, the business information service reports.
