A day after the Indian government warned of "reciprocal measures" against the UK in wake of its new travel restrictions for vaccinated Indians, the British government has added the India -made Covidshield back in the category of approved Covid-19 vaccines.
The Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, manufactured by the Serum Institute of India was recently excluded from a list of eligible COVID-19 vaccines recognised under Britain's reviewed international travel norms, effective from October 4. Following widespread condemnation and outrage against the move, which India termed "discriminatory", the UK government has reversed the update.
