Plans to Vaccinate All Iranians by March 2022

Health Minister Saeed Namaki said on Monday Iran has set a target of inoculating its 83 million population by the end of the current Iranian year (March 2022).
On the sidelines of a coronavirus taskforce meeting in the eastern city of Mashhad, Namaki noted that Iran is speeding up the vaccine rollout despite slow deliveries, IRNA reported.
“By the end of June, 14 million people, including individuals with rare diseases and those over the age of 60, will have been vaccinated,” he added.
After receiving nearly 2.4 million vaccine jabs this week, Namaki readjusted Iran’s vaccination target, now promising to immunize high-risk people by late June, one month sooner than the previous projection.
