Continuation of Astrazenka vaccine supply process / latest status of Iranian mRNA vaccine production

According to Fars News Agency’s health correspondent, Bahram Daraei, the head of the Food and Drug Administration, said in our Tehran Radio Salamat Tehran program that more than 122 million doses of vaccine have been given and injected so far: “According to forecasts, more than 180 million doses of vaccines in various foreign and domestic types are provided for the consumption of compatriots and our country’s reserves are enough to advance the goals of the Scientific Committee to achieve maximum vaccination, but to provide additional doses and even in some cases to travel to some countries need to provide more We have vaccines like Astraznka and Sputnik.

He stressed that at the beginning of the corona pandemic and the production of vaccines in the world, large sums of money were deposited in the coax’s basket, which have not provided us with suitable vaccines, but we are working hard to get these two types of vaccines through Make it available to applicants inside and outside the country.

“Since the beginning of the Corona Pandemic, many knowledge-based domestic companies have tried to produce the Corona vaccine,” Daraei said of the MRNA vaccine. Despite the production of vaccines in the country, we are still not unaware of other platforms. Previously, the development of a vaccine with the MRNA platform in a specific cell was proposed, which went a long way, but one company has proposed a model that is on the way. The Food and Drug Administration is in direct contact with the company and helps them get their vaccines available. Because we need these platforms for different diseases in the future.

In response to whether you have thought of a plan for fake vaccination cards issued from the website of the Ministry of Health? “Cases have been reported and our colleagues at the Ministry of Health are following up,” he said. Violations have been reported by some agents and there are also fake cards, both of which are unacceptable.

“A lot of work was done with the help of the people in the country so that we could reach the vaccination record,” Daraei said. In the meantime, there may be problems that are not accepted.

The head of the Food and Drug Administration in response to how long the increase in prices and shortages of some drugs will continue? He stated: The Food and Drug Administration, like other organizations, needs personnel and raw materials for its products, and with the increase in costs in this area, the price of medicine will naturally increase. The Food and Drug Administration, unlike other agencies, applies this increase in the second half of the year. But most people are worried about eliminating the preferred currency and turning it into a half currency.

He added: 4200 Tomans of medicine that was not provided was provided by the order of the president. But this disruption disrupts the drug supply chain, leading to cross-border shortages, and measures such as mobilization must be put in place to compensate.

Noting that the preferred currency is not permanently available, Daraei expressed hope that by implementing better policies and full insurance coverage, we will not be short of medicine when this currency is not available.

He said about the implementation of the electronic transcription plan: “The implementation of the electronic transcription plan is a very big task.” Our country is large, has a population of about 85 million people and is not comparable to small and sparsely populated countries. But so far, more than 95% of electronic copying has been done in the country and some provinces have covered up to 100%. In some provinces, such as Tehran and Khorasan Razavi, the statistics are lower. But it is close to its final stages.

The head of the Food and Drug Administration emphasized: Electronic prescribing is a background for creating electronic files. By completing the mechanization process, we will ensure that the drug distribution and supply cycle and the health care system are controlled and transparent, and that drug leaks and patients’ rights are prevented. At the same time, the black market will be smaller.
