Vaccination began late in Iran due to the fact that Ali Khamenei, The supreme leader banned the import and use of American and British vaccines. This decision stopped the import and use of Pfizer and Astrazeneca vaccines for a long period during which many Iranians died due to covid. Khamenei was heavily criticised for this. Couple of months later and only after Ebrahim Raeisi became president, Khamenei allowed the import of American and British vaccines claiming he had never banned it despite the fact that he is recorded on camera during delivering a speech and clearly stating that "Import of American and British covid vaccines are prohibited."

Iran broke its record of weekly vaccinations by opening 24-hour vaccination centres. Importing vaccine accelerated by changing the administration, but there is no evidence to demonstrate how much this rapidity of imports goes back to the mass production of vaccines, worldwide.[15]
