Iran returns ‘US-made’ donated COVID vaccines to Poland

Iran has returned 820,000 doses of coronavirus vaccines donated by Poland because they were manufactured in the United States. State TV on Monday quoted Mohammad Hashemi, a health ministry official, as saying that Poland donated about a million doses of the British-Swedish AstraZeneca vaccine to Iran. “But when the vaccines arrived in Iran, we found out that 820,000 doses of them which were imported from Poland were from the United States,” he said.
