Italy to start COVID vaccinations in January

Italy plans to roll out Pfizer's COVID vaccine for widespread use in the country starting in January. Also, dozens of gunmen in Brazil effectively took an entire city hostage overnight in a brazen bank robbery, and the U.N. announced it's signed a deal with Ethiopia to allow unimpeded humanitarian access to parts of the embattled Tigray region. CBS News foreign correspondent Chris Livesay joined CBSN AM with today's headlines from around the world.

CDC panel on COVID vaccine distribution

A CDC panel recommended on Tuesday that health care workers and nursing home residents should be first to receive the coronavirus vaccine. Those initial doses from Pfizer and Moderna, which have not yet been FDA approved, could be distributed in two weeks. CBS News correspondents Mola Lenghi and David Begnaud have the latest details, and Dr. Uzma Syed, an infectious disease specialist, joins CBSN's Elaine Quijano to discuss what she will be looking at once the vaccines are out in the public.

Doctor says herd immunity still long way off

CBS News correspondent David Begnaud reports on the toll the pandemic is taking on frontline workers, and Dr. Dyan Hes, founder of Gramercy Pediatrics, joined CBSN to discuss which groups should be prioritized when vaccines are distributed, and how long it might take to reach herd immunity.
