New Delhi, Sept.24: While the UK’s adoption of the Pune-based Serum Institute of India’s (SII) Covishield has been a point of conflict, Italy has become the latest country to recognise the WHO-approved and India-made vaccine, following Germany, Switzerland, France, and Spain.
According to the Indian Embassy in Italy, India’s COVID-19 vaccine “Covishield” has been granted recognition by Italy on Friday. Indians who have the covishield certificates, are now eligible for a Green Pass in this European country as a result of the move.
A meeting between Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya and his Italian counterpart Roberto Speranza has resulted in this success.
The Indian Embassy in Italy tweeted about this development, “As an outcome of G20Health Ministers’ meeting btw Hon’ble @mansukhmandviya& Italian Health Minister @robersperanza coupled with @MEAIndia persistent efforts @MinisteroSalute recognises India’s Covishield. Indian vaccine CardHolders are now eligible for GreenPass @SerumInstIndia.”
