Australia added India's Covaxin vaccine and China's BBIBP-CorV vaccine, made by Sinopharm, to a growing list of accepted vaccines
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday thanked his Australian counterpart Scott Morrison for recognition of India's Covaxin for establishing a traveller's vaccination status in the country. "It is an important step forward in the post-COVID partnership between India and Australia," he tweeted. I thank my dear friend @ScottMorrisonMP for Australia's recognition of India's COVAXIN. It is an important step forward in the post-COVID partnership between 🇮🇳 and 🇦🇺.
Australia added India's Covaxin vaccine and China's BBIBP-CorV vaccine, made by Sinopharm, to a growing list of accepted vaccines as it eased its international border restrictions earlier in the day for the first time during the coronavirus pandemic, allowing some of its vaccinated public to travel freely.
This comes amid millions of Indians complaining of travel struggles as the vaccine has not been recognised for international travel by several countries.
