People queue up to get vaccinated

Adar Poonawalla, SII on the European Union's ban for those who took Covishield. "I realise that a lot of Indians who've taken Covishield are facing issues with travel to the EU. I assure everyone, I've taken this up at highest levels & hope to resolve this matter soon, both with regulators and at the diplomatic level with countries."

Europe's new 'vaccine passport' programme, which recognises a few vaccines whose recipients will be able to travel in and out of Europe with fewer roadblocks than others, includes the AstraZeneca vaccine but not India's Covishield.

Serum Institute, Pune, which makes Covishield in India with a license from AstraZeneca, didnt apply to have the vaccine approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
