Financial Tribune: With demand for the influenza vaccine surging around the world as countries prepare for the concurrence of the influenza season and the Covid-19 outbreak during autumn, Iranian officials are devising plans to regulate the purchase of the sought-after vaccine. Heydar Mohammadi, an official with Iran’s Food and Drug Administration, told ISNA that influenza vaccines will become available to the public by mid-September. According to Mohammadi, the ID number of each individual purchasing the vaccine will be registered so as to prevent its trade on the black market.“We are making efforts to import a majority of vaccine doses by late September,” he added.
