Which Countries Have Approved Covaxin?
At present, eight countries apart from India, have authroised the use of Covaxin – including Guyana, Iran, Mauritius, Mexico, Nepal, Paraguay, Philippines, Zimbabwe.
With Covaxin not recognised by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK, or Canadian and Australian authorities – those who wish to travel to these regions, will be considered ‘unvaccinated’.
Therefore, these passengers, including those travelling for business or educational purposes, will have to mandatorily follow local quarantine protocols and undergo COVID tests as per norms.
The WHO approval, is therefore, crucial in other countries and their regulatory bodies opening their borders for those who have taken the Covaxin jab.
