Ghana president slams European countries not recognising India-made Covishield

Ghana president has slammed European countries for not recognising the Covishield vaccine manufactured in India for travellers.

Ghana has termed as "unfortunate" the development in "some countries in Europe" of not recognising the Covishield vaccine manufactured in India for travellers, saying the use of vaccines as a tool for immigration control will be a "truly retrogressive step."

On Wednesday, the UK government added Covishield, the India-manufactured Oxford/AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine, to an updated international travel advisory.
