Supply chain trouble continues across the board and Global News' Short Supply series is looking at these issues. Last night saw the first doses of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine for children touch down at Hamilton. Parliament is back in action but what's changed from when they last sat and what can we expect from tomorrow's Throne Speech? Health Canada has approved the children's COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer but what does it mean for that approval to go through and what else should people know about the vaccine? Did Hamilton City Council make the right decision by voting 13-3 against expanding Hamilton's urban boundary? And the International Olympic Committee says that it's made contact with Chinese pro tennis player Peng Shuai, who was formerly reported as missing, but this has still left some questions unanswered.
