🔶 Ministry of Health official: A valid flu vaccine has not yet been distributed in Iran's health system
Hossein Karamanpour, head of the Public Relations and Information Center of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Salami, announced the non-distribution of valid flu vaccines in Iran and asked people to avoid buying invalid vaccines.
He warned in publishing a message on Channel X: "A valid flu vaccine has not yet been distributed in Iran's health system. "Vaccines outside the official network are not reliable in terms of authenticity and the cold chain." Publishing photos of a flu vaccine apparently sold in the market, Karmanpour wrote, "Some of these vaccines are not related to these vaccines from the south!".
A severe shortage of medicines, especially flu vaccine, has caused a wave of concern in recent days, especially among high-risk groups, including the elderly and patients with chronic diseases. Many citizens reported on social media the problems in obtaining this vaccine, its shortage in pharmacies and the high price.
