The Centre has called the UK vaccine policy mandating quarantine even for fully vaccinated Indians a “discriminatory policy” and added that the country has used vaccines made in India for their own health system.

According to the new rules in the UK, Indian travellers who have received both doses of the Covishield vaccine manufactured by the Serum Institute of India (SII) will be considered unvaccinated and will have to undergo self-isolation for 10 days.
