Statements by regime officials
Mahmoud Vaezi, Rouhani’s Chief of Staff: We have taken action to buy vaccines from China, India, and Russia. We should not put all the eggs in one basket and rely only on 3-4 companies that have produced the vaccine. Existing vaccines are expensive and may become cheaper in the future as production grows.
Kianoush Jahanpour, Health Ministry’s public relations: Vaccine production does not require the World Health Organization’s approval. If we decide to have a production line for export, we can then apply for a license.
Alireza Raisi, the spokesperson for the National Coronavirus Combat Taskforce (NCCT): We must be fully prepared, especially in winter, and if we do not observe the COVID-19 related protocols, we will see the next peak in late February and early March.

Experts and specialists are worried
Head of the Medical System Organization: To return to normal life, we have no choice but to pay and purchase the COVID-19 vaccine.
Vice president for Research at the Vaccine Research Center in the University of Medical Science: If all the clinical studies are completed and the components we want are approved, if things go well, God willing, we could use the vaccine in late June or early July next year.
Vice president of Gilan University of Medical Sciences: Out of 16 cities of Gilan, five are in orange and the rest are in the red state.
The mullahs’ president, Hassan Rouhani, says domestic and foreign vaccines are on the way, but the head of the Central Bank says only 200 million Euros have been allocated for 8.4 million people, i.e. one-tenth of the population. #COVID19
