Iran says ready to share its vaccine production knowledge
with other nations

The head of Iran Veterinary Organization said Iran has made
great progress in the field of vaccine production and is prepared to exchange
its technical knowledge of manufacturing vaccine with other countries.

“Considering the very high
capabilities of the country in the field of vaccine production, and with
reliance on the existing knowledge, we are ready to transfer our technical
know-how of vaccine production to other countries,” Vahid Salehi said recently. 

He further described Razi Vaccine and Serum Research
Institute as one the important centers for vaccine production in the country,
which has all vaccine production platforms.

According to official reports, 95 percent of the required
animal vaccines in Iran are produced in the country. Iran also produces about
3.5 billion doses of poultry vaccine annually.

During the outbreak of COVID-19, Iran mostly relied on
home-grown capacities to tackle one of the largest outbreaks of coronavirus in
the Middle East.
