SOUNDBITES OF KIANUSH YAHANPUR, HEAD OF PUBLIC RELATIONS, IRAN'S MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND MEDICAL EDUCATION:1. "It was not clear which strategy could ultimately lead to an effective and safe vaccine against COVID-19, so practically no opportunity was lost and any route or platform existed in the country was explored." 2. "The determined objective is for Iran to position itself as the hub of vaccine production at least in the Eastern Mediterranean and Western Asia region." 3. "(CovIran Barekat) It is a vaccine with few side effects, is safe and effective and we are very hopeful that next spring we will mass produce it in the country." 4. "The technology which was chosen for the vaccine developed by Cuba and Iran, from the Pasteur Institute of Iran and the Finlay Institute of Cuba, and their clinical studies have been successful in the first and second phases and I can say that, compared to many vaccines produced in the West, 50 miles from Cuba, in the US, this one is safer." 5. "We expect that from the beginning of summer we will no longer need foreign ones and, in practice, we will fully advance vaccination with the Iranian vaccine until its completion."
