Iran Press/Iran News: Iran's President Hassan Rouhani expressed hope that with the measures taken, in addition to diligently pursuing the domestic production of vaccines, in the coming weeks, by purchasing vaccines from various companies and transferring them to the country, the vaccination started based on prioritization and a table prepared by the target community in the country with the priority of medical staff and the elderly.

Speaking at the meeting of the Government's Economic Coordination Board on Sunday, Rouhani stressed the need to accelerate the actions and activities carried out in this field, stating: "The Central Bank of Iran (CBI), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Planning and Budget Organization, together with the Ministry of Health, which is responsible for the necessary expertise, should plan in a way that the purchase and delivery of vaccines to the country will be completed more quickly."

The Ministry of Health, Treatment and Medical Education and the Central Bank of Iran (CBI) provided reports from the activities and measures taken to provide resources and purchase COVID vaccines from various manufacturers abroad at the meeting.

Referring to the experiences gained during the three years of confronting the imposed economic war, the Iranian president said: "The government, relying on the experiences gained from standing up to this full-scale war and neutralizing inhumane sanctions, has set up next year's budget with the aim of economic development as well as effective livelihood support for the people."

Rouhani added: "The economic situation of the country requires that in view of all the requirements, needs and resources of the country, a hopeful and calming horizon in economic development and livelihood, people should feel the positive effects in their lives. For this reason, any decision that leads to double economic pressure on the people's livelihood and the country's economy will not be accepted."

Rouhani also stressed: "The amount of tax revenues or revenues from the export of oil and products in the proposed budget is based on the forecast of the country's economic trend next year in a realistic manner and with emphasis on economic strength and fulfillment of the country's rights.
