Covaxin to be recognized for travel from June 1 in Germany without requiring Covid-19 testing

German ambassador to India as well as Bhutan, Walter J Lindner on Thursday, announced to the Indian government that it European country will begin to accept Bharat Biotech’s COVID vaccine for travel starting on June 1.

In a post on Twitter, Lindner wrote that he’s “Very happy that GER government just decided to recognize WHO-listed Covaxin for travels to GER, starting June 1! This Embassy has been pushing very actively for such decision (because of Covid-backlogs visa sections have longer waiting periods than normal, please have patience)”

It should be noted it is the World Health Organisation had in November of last year, recommended Emergency Use Listing (EUL) status for Covaxin.

In addition to Germany and several other countries, Australia, Japan, and Canada are currently permitting Indian travelers who have been vaccinated for Covaxin to enter their countries.

What does it mean for Indians? The decision to leave Germany will ease the process of entry for Indian citizens Germany who has had both doses of Covaxin. Bharat Biotech said in a statement that Indian travelers won’t require proof of vaccination, as they will no longer require proof of vaccination as the Federal Cabinet has relaxed restrictions.
