Over 1.67 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered to people around the world. But not everyone has had a chance to get their shot in unique settings, such as the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in the U.S., the Sambodromo in Brazil and Canada’s Wonderland.
Over 1.67 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered to people around the world, including 21.1 million in Canada.
But not everyone has had an opportunity to get their shot in unique settings, such as the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., the Sambodromo in Rio de Janeiro and Canada’s Wonderland north of Toronto.
So we’ve assembled a visual tour of some eye-catching and iconic vaccination venues here and abroad.
