According to Fars News Agency’s health group, Hamidreza Jamaati, on the sidelines of the meeting of the Corona Scientific Committee, told reporters: “According to studies, we have about 150 cases of emicron in the provinces of the country, but due to vaccination, it is a place of happiness compared to other countries.” In terms of vaccination, we were closer to the present time. Due to the high percentage of community vaccination and the injection of the third dose, we do not expect Amicron to cause a conflict as quickly as in other countries in Iran. This is due to vaccination and the short time elapsed since the second dose was injected; Therefore, the speed of Amicron expansion in Iran has not been like other countries.
He stressed: “On the other hand, in other countries, a lot of cases are studied, which in our opinion, considering that in most countries, patients had a mild and moderate disease and there was no severe disease with high lung involvement and there was not much hospitalization, so The need for large-scale testing may not be obvious given the circumstances in our country, where most of our bags have been mild.
“Two vaccines may not be enough, depending on the vaccination,” he said. So we encourage people to inject a third dose, and people under 18 should be vaccinated, and people should not be simplistic. Adherence to health protocols and vaccine injection is one of our emphases.
“Regarding social restrictions, I think a decision should be made to prevent a new courier with Amicron in the country,” he said.
Regarding the vaccination program for people under the age of 12, Jamaati clarified: In today’s meeting of the scientific committee, it was approved that people aged 5 to 11 are required to make a decision about their vaccination. There is a strong scientific committee to select the type of vaccine and they follow all the findings, and any vaccine that is approved by the Food and Drug Administration is approved by us.
He continued: “The Food and Drug Administration gives permission when there are sufficient studies in that age group based on the effectiveness of the vaccine and the absence of serious side effects.” According to current data, the Sinofarm and Pastococc vaccines are approved for vaccination for 5 to 11 years. Vaccines for children need to be given at a lower dose than adults, according to studies.
Regarding the number of Amicron diagnostic laboratories in the country, Jamaati said: “The number of laboratories is not important; Because from the first day that Amicron was identified in the world, in Iran, the Pasteur Institute made a diagnostic kit for this strain and provided it to medical universities.
