AZ vaccine UK

The EU still does not recognise a version of the AstraZeneca vaccine called Covishield, which is produced by the Serum Institute of India.

The doses were administered to up to five million people in the UK, but have not yet been approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), which regulates vaccinations in the bloc.

UK tourists who have been given the Indian-made doses would be flagged up at the EU border and could face being denied entry.

The EU Digital Covid Certificate is now in operation to allow travel without quarantine, but it would not recognise the Indian-made AstraZeneca vaccines with the batch numbers 4120Z001, 4120Z002 and 4120Z003.

Hello John

The Sun 7 Apr 2021

ASTRAZENECA jabs are "highly effective, and are saving lives," confirms the European Medicines Agency (EMA). https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/14376346/astrazeneca-owner-what-who-coronavirus-vaccine/

It would seem The Sun vs. Daily Mirror. Anything to sell rag. No wonder the public get confused.

Bit late on this but there are loads of countries in the EU who recognise the AZ vaccine made in India called Covishield.

The countries that accept it are:

1. Austria
2. Belgium
3. Bulgaria
4. Finland
5. Germany
6. Greece
7. Hungary
8. Iceland
9. Ireland
10. Latvia
11. the Netherlands
12. Slovenia
13. Spain
14. Sweden
15. Switzerland

I think Malta, France and Portugal were added to that list last week as well.
