Iran approves first homegrown COVID-19 vaccine.

Iran has approved an emergency use of its first domestically developed coronavirus vaccine called "COVIran Barakat" that could bring the hardest-hit country in the Middle East closer to inoculating its citizens against COVID-19.

The emergency authorization was approved after the country was faced with problems from importing enough vaccines.

Iranian pharmaceutical company Shifafarmed made the vaccine based on deactivated virus, and the first study of the safety and effectiveness began in late December.

Iran has also said it is working on a vaccine with cooperation from a foreign country. The vaccine, produced jointly by Iran and Cuba, will join the country’s vaccine package in the next week.
