India also has arrangements with various countries for the mutual recognition of vaccination certificates, and there is no cause for worry for those who were vaccinated with Covaxin, an official from the MEA said.
The Ministry of External Affairs on Thursday (April 7, 2022) said that the World Health Organization’s (WHO) suspension of Covaxin supply through UN procurement agencies over “process and facility upgrade” requirements will not have an impact on travel by those who have taken the Covid-19 vaccine.
MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi, while answering a question, informed that in terms of their travel, the vaccine continues to be recognized under the emergency use listing of WHO and various countries have already accepted it.
