The countries which have approved the Covishield vaccine include Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Slovenia, Greece, Estonia, Ireland, Spain and Estonia.

New Delhi: Nine European countries have listed Covishield on the national guidelines for travel amid the COVID crisis, a development that comes even as the European Union Green pass that comes into effect from today for inter bloc travel. The countries which have approved the Covishield vaccine include Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Slovenia, Greece, Estonia, Ireland, Spain and Estonia. Importantly, Estonia has confirmed, sources told a leading news organisation that "will recognize all the vaccines authorized by Government of India for travel of Indians to Estonia." That means that both Covishield and Covaxin vaccinated persons are allowed in the country, along with Sputnik and Moderna. Estonia in northern Europe is the first EU member country to list both the India-made vaccines.
