The U.S. reported 190,920 new Covid-19 cases and 1,389 virus-related deaths on Sunday, according to Johns Hopkins University data.

Covid-19 vaccine began shipping over the weekend, and the first vaccinations in the U.S. are set to take place Monday. The vaccine is a two-dose shot and roughly 95% effective in preventing the virus.

It's likely to be administered to health care and front-line workers first, followed closely by vulnerable populations like older people living in nursing homes. The arrival of a long-awaited vaccine offers promise of a return to normal in the coming year, but health experts maintain public safety measures are still necessary while the drug is distributed.Global deaths: At least 1.61 millionHow UPS is shipping the Pfizer Covid vaccine around the U.S.
