COVID-19 vaccination in Iran
Iran fully vaccinated almost 50 percent of the population by November 5th 2021, and permanently halted vaccine shot import. General population were to take the Sinopharm BIBP vaccine.[1] From December 2021 electronic vaccine certificate were mandatory for work,[2][3][4] mandatory service in Iranian Armed Forces, universities, and schools.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
Vaccination began late in Iran due to the fact that Ali Khamenei, The supreme leader banned the import and use of American and British vaccines. This decision stopped the import and use of Pfizer and Astrazeneca vaccines for a long period during which many Iranians died due to covid. Khamenei was heavily criticised for this. Couple of months later and only after Ebrahim Raeisi became president, Khamenei allowed the import of American and British vaccines claiming he had never banned it despite the fact that he is recorded on camera during delivering a speech and clearly stating that "Import of American and British covid vaccines are prohibited." A research done by prominent Iranian scientists revealed that if vaccination was done earlier around 50-75 thousand less people would have died from covid-19.[13] [14]
Iran broke its record of weekly vaccinations by opening 24-hour vaccination centres. Importing vaccine accelerated by changing the administration, but there is no evidence to demonstrate how much this rapidity of imports goes back to the mass production of vaccines, worldwide.[15]
