With Covishield yet to be cleared by the drug regulators of some countries across the globe, Serum Institute of India (SII) Chief Executive Officer Adar Poonawalla on Thursday said that he would support students with additional costs they were likely to incur while travelling abroad despite being vaccinated. “Dear students travelling abroad, as a few countries are yet to approve COVISHIELD as an acceptable vaccine for travel without quarantine, you may have to incur some costs. I have set aside ₹10 crores for this, apply below for financial support if needed,” said Mr. Poonawalla in a tweet. The #UnlockEducation scheme recently announced on NDTV seeks to provide financial help for Indian students studying abroad.
