PM Modi said India will be able to resume vaccine supplies to the world as production increases in the country.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today called for international travel to be made easier, through "mutual recognition of vaccine certificates", amid a row with the UK over double-vaccinated Indians still having to quarantine.
"We also need to focus on addressing the pandemic's economic effects. To that end, international travel should be made easier, through mutual recognition of vaccine certificates," PM Modi said at the Global COVID-19 Summit hosted by US President Joe Biden. PM Modi is on his way to the US for a three-day visit.
Even though Covishield is now an approved vaccine on the UK's revised guidelines for travel, because of "vaccination certification issues", Indians are still required to quarantine. Officials have implied the problem is not Covishield but doubts over vaccine certification in India.
PM Modi, at the Covid summit, also said India will be able to resume vaccine supplies to the world as production increases in the country, but for that, the supply chains of raw materials must be kept open. India had stopped exporting Covid vaccines in April.
