Iran officially kicked off its long-awaited coronavirus vaccination project Feb. 9 at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini Hospital.
The first stage, according to health officials, will focus on medical staff at intensive care units, where they have been battling the pandemic for more than a year. A second phase, for which a timeline has yet to be specified, is expected to cover all Iranians above the age of 65 as well as those suffering from chronic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
