Not purchasing COVID-19 vaccines
While justifying not purchasing the COVID-19 vaccines, Hassan Rouhani brazenly said: It is still unclear what the side effects of vaccines are, so some people are even afraid of getting vaccinated worldwide.
He said today’s vaccines are similar to masks used in the early days of the outbreak when they were being seized at airports. He added even if there were enough vaccines, it would take months for the vaccinations to complete.
Vaccination is the only way out of the COVID-19 outbreak announced by the Tehran City Council. Expensive Russian vaccines are purchased in low quantity, and there are delays in purchasing cheaper but approved vaccines. (Hamdeli daily, February 27, 2021)
