Adar Poonawalla has said through a tweet on Twitter that he has raised this issue at a high level. He tweeted, “I realize that many Indians, who have taken the Covidshield vaccine, are facing problems traveling to the EU. I assure everyone I have taken this to the highest level and hope That this matter will be resolved soon.

Several EU countries have begun issuing digital vaccine passports, which will allow Europeans to travel freely for work or tourism. The Vaccine Passport will serve as proof that a person has been vaccinated against the coronavirus. The European Union had previously stated that countries within the European Union should issue certificates regardless of the type of Covid-19 vaccine, but the technical specifications of the ‘Green Pass’ indicate that it may be obtained from an EU-wide marketing authorization. Covid will be limited to vaccines.

At present, four Covid-19 vaccines have been approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), which can only be issued green passes by EU member states to those who have had them. The EMA has approved the following Covid-19 vaccines: Pfizer/BioNtech’s Comirnati, Moderna, AstraZeneca-Oxford’s Wexgerviria and Johnson & Johnson’s Johnson.

According to the report, the Covishield manufactured in India has not yet been recognized by the EMA. While both Vaxjeveria and Covishield are AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccines. The Covishield vaccine in India is made by the Pune-based Serum Institute of India, which has been approved by the Siam Biosciences. India has also given Covidshield vaccine to many countries as a help.
