Denial of Rouhani’s corona claim by the spokesperson of the Ministry of Health

In an interview with Fars, the spokesman of the Ministry of Health, Pedram Pak Ayin, while denying the claim of the former head of government that 200 million doses of corona vaccine were purchased in the 12th government, said: according to the available documents, this claim is not true; Because the total number of vaccines imported before the formation of the 13th government was only 18 million 754 thousand 610 doses of vaccine, and after the formation of the 13th government, with the promotion of health diplomacy and the order of extensive importation of vaccines, this amount reached 143 million 245 thousand 390 doses. The vaccine arrived.

Pakayin added: Until August 14, 1400, only about 14% of the population had been vaccinated, but less than a year after the formation of the 13th government, this number of the population had not been vaccinated, which reached below 14%, and the ratio of vaccinated and unvaccinated population was reversed.

Referring to the high number of corona victims in the last days of the previous government, he said: In the 13th government, 156 million doses of corona vaccination were carried out and as a result, the daily number of corona deaths went from 700 people at the time of the 13th government to single digits. At times it reached zero.

According to the media assistant of the Minister of Health, supporting the production of 6 domestic vaccines was one of the other measures taken in the Ministry of Health of the 13th government, and from this number, the production stages of five Iranian vaccines were formed in the 13th government.
