Head of Iran’s National coronavirus Epidemiology Committee said on Sunday that a fifth peak is possible due to issues regarding general vaccination and lack of abidance by health protocols, especially since concerns remain regarding new variants of this illness, according to a report wired by the semi-official ISNA news agency.
“Early last week we expected the arrival of three million doses from a country and the vaccination process in process. However, since that shipment was met with delays vaccination for the next group of people was delayed to the arrival of the next vaccine consignment,” said Alireza Raisi, spokesperson of the National Covid-19 Task Force on Sunday, according to state TV.
Health centers across the city of Tehran are putting up signs reading “Out of vaccines.” Other cities are reporting similar conditions. Considering the fact that in provinces such as Hormozgan officials are warning of a fifth peak, the vaccination cycle coming to a halt is quite dangerous, according to a Sunday report published by the state-run Khabar Fouri website.
“Vaccination has come to a halt until further notice due to the depletion of stored vaccines,” a statement issued by the Shiraz Medical Sciences University on Sunday reads, according to the regime's official IRNA news agency.
“The situation in Hormozgan province is critical. A fifth peak spreading across the country and starting from Hormozgan is quite possible. Unfortunately, the Covid-19 deaths in Hormozgan province has reached our youth and many of those who have contracted the virus are suffering from severe lung problems, which has increased the death rate of this virus,” said the deputy governor of Hormozgan on Sunday, according to the state-run Hamshahri daily.
“June 5 was the harshest day for [Sistan & Baluchistan] province since last winter. The daily death rate on this day was unprecedented,” said the dean of Zahedan Medical Sciences University on Sunday, according to the Mehr news agency, an outlet linked to the regime's Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS).
