The problem of purchasing Corona vaccine has been solved

The initial agreement to transfer funds from a bank account was received this morning and we ordered the payment.

In one of my previous posts, I emphasised that the US sanctions and the need to obtain OFAC approval have caused difficulties and delays in purchasing the corona vaccine from Covax. In this regard, I would like to announce a few points to inform people.
 The initial agreement to transfer funds from a bank account (other than sources of the Central Bank in Korea) was received this morning and we ordered the payment. Necessary follow-ups in this field continue uninterrupted. The Central Bank of Iran has allocated 200 million Euros to purchase the Corona vaccine at this stage. More resources will be provided if needed. We have the necessary coordination with the Ministry of Health in this regard, and I would like to reassure people that the purchase and transfer of the Coronavirus vaccine will be carried out as soon as possible. In addition to allocating currency for the purchase of the Coronavirus vaccine, we are pursuing the necessary support to provide the currency needed for the equipment of the production line for domestic production of the vaccine. I say well done to all those who work in this field.
