The question that begs an answer: Is Covaxin now allowed in US?
September 22, 2021 13:06
This is why Covaxin is trending on Twitter.
The US does NOT recognise Covaxin jabs and treats the recipients as unvaccinated.
However, PM Narendra Modi, who got jabbed with the India-made Bharat Biotech's Covaxin is right now on a flight headed to the US.
The question social media is therefore asking is: Which vaccine did he really take?
Filmmaker Nikhil Alva is among those asking this question: "Like our PM, I too got jabbed with our Atamnirbhar COVAXIN. Now other than Iran & Nepal and a handful more, I can't travel anywhere in the world. Which is why I'm perplexed to hear that our PM is off to the USA, that doesn't recognise COVAXIN. So which vaccine did he really take?"
As does author Anand Ranganathan who tweets, "The USA has still not approved our Covaxin through either its FDA or CDC, and neither has the WHO. Does this mean that PM @narendramodi vaccinated with Covaxin, will be quarantined for 2 weeks upon his arrival tonight in the USA? He should be. He should suffer like all Indians."
And another tweet from @The Godfather: PM Modi had taken Covaxin which is not recognized by US till now
Now he is going to US
Is US going to treat him as "unvaccinated"?
Are they going to make an exception in his case?
Are there separate rules in US for PM and other civilians?
