Iran says it successfully tested virus vaccine on animals, is moving to humans
Iran has successfully tested a coronavirus vaccine on animals and is preparing to move forward to human trials, a top official in the Islamic Republic claims.
Mohammad Mokhber, who heads the Headquarters of Imam Khomeini’s Directive, a state-owned enterprise, announces the move to human trials “after receiving license from the health ministry.”
He also says the Headquarters, which holds a network of businesses in various fields, has also developed a cheaper version of the drug remdesivir, which is believed to be helpful in treating some serious coronavirus cases.
