The head of the infectious diseases immunization department of the Iranian Ministry of Health says that "seven million people" of the country's population have not yet received the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine.

Mohsen Zahraei told Islamic Republic TV: "We continue to recommend families to come for vaccination, because scientific studies show that vaccination can prevent 50 to 80 percent of others from contracting the coronavirus."

Meanwhile, the head of the Public Relations and Information Center of the Ministry of Health announced an increase in the number of patients identified with the Omicron strain in the country.
