COVIran Barekat: Iran launches human trials of its COVID vaccine

Al Jazeera  

The start of the trials comes as Iran managed to bring its COVID-19 fatalities down to a three-month low. Tehran, Iran – Iran has launched human trials of its coronavirus vaccine, and health officials are optimistic about tackling the pandemic in the Middle East’s hardest-hit country. “I’m happy, not just because I’m the first person, but because this scientific process progressed so well in my country,” said Mokhber, who is the daughter of Mohammad Mokhber, head of the Headquarters for Execution of Imam Khomeini’s Order, a state-run entity looking after local coronavirus vaccine efforts. COVIran Barekat, manufactured by Shifa Pharmed, is one of eight vaccine candidates, said the health ministry, adding that the other seven are expected to clear animal trials by late February. President Hassan Rouhani has said US sanctions, imposed after US President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers in 2018, have created barriers in money transfer to pay for vaccines.
