While the number of Covid-19 victims in Iran reaches the 200,00 mark, the mullahs’ regime continues to delay in purchasing the coronavirus vaccine. “The World Health Organization has announced countries that imposed quarantine measures, are taking these issues seriously and have begun the vaccination process, will continue to be engaged with Covid-19 until the end of this summer. In our country this period should be considered until the fall season,” said Masoud Mardani, a member of the National Covid-19 Task Force on Wednesday, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.
“Right now, the Covid-19 vaccine has been produced and we need to provide it for the people and the vulnerable,” said an ICU expert in Iran on Wednesday. “If we wait for the Iranian vaccine to be produced in July, there will be a black market for the Covid-19 vaccine in this country. It must be clarified why there is a delay in purchasing and importing credible Covid-19 vaccines. Time and again various private companies and their representatives have announced they can purchase and import credible vaccines. These days many foreign goods are being purchased and the vaccine is nothing in comparison. Anyhow, providing the vaccine and launching vaccination for a significant number of people will take time, any delay in this regard will keep us back even further,” the expert added, according to the regime's official IRNA news agency.
