Hoping that the Iranian vaccine will be put to use in early spring, Namaki said that several groups are separately working for developing the vaccine for COVID-19 throughout Iran.
He added that Iran is going to be one of the most successful producers of COVID-19 vaccine in the world.
The health minister also said COVID-19 vaccine will be provided for Iranian people using different methods and that a team has been working on distribution method of the vaccine, noting that first the most vulnerable and high-risk people will be inoculated.
He added that last week was a bitter one for the world; the US experienced about 3,500 deaths a day; the UK, Germany, and Italy lost some 1,000 people a day.
Hailing Iran for having reduced the COVID-19 death toll to about 100, Namaki hoped not to see any deaths.
He also went on to say that there are only four red points – all in Mazandaran Province, northern Iran.
