Vaccine Volunteers Insured

Iran Insurance Company, the country’s largest insurance company and the only company owned by the government, signed an agreement with Razi Vaccine and the Serum Research Institute to provide insurance cover for volunteers taking part in the human trial of the Iran-made Covid-19 vaccine.
As per a press release published on the IIC website, the insurer will compensate possible losses and medical expenses of 650 volunteers.  Iran on Tuesday started human trials of the locally-made vaccine in which 56 people were vaccinated in the first stage.
Minou Mohrez, a senior member of the National Coronavirus Headquarters’ Science Committee, announced earlier that an experimental vaccine will be tested on volunteers between the ages of 18 and 50 who had not been infected by the novel coronavirus.
