Indians Can Visit France If Vaccinated With India-Made Vaccine Covisheild

The French government allowed Indian travellers to be vaccinated with AstraZeneca Vaccine Covishield, manufactured by the Serum Institute of India.

France has now become the 14th EU member to accept the Covishield vaccine for inclusion in the EU's Green Pass, which allows entry to travellers amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Apart from France, the Indian vaccine is now recognized for travel to Belgium, Austria, Bulgaria, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Netherlands, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.

It is indeed good news for travellers, as we see sixteen European countries recognising COVISHIELD as an acceptable vaccine for entry. However despite being vaccinated, entry guidelines might vary from country to country, so do read up before you travel. https://t.co/Cy9HO2Uxu3
