According to Mansouri, the parameters and doses of the vaccine will be determined jointly by the Ministry of Health and the National Council to Combat Coronavirus.
“Permission to vaccinate children is based on the experience of various countries and scientific research. Vaccines will be administered voluntarily, with parental consent,” Mansouri said.
