No Problem With Vaccine Certificate: Top Official After UK Raises Concern

    There are no issues with the CoWin app or the vaccine certification process, RS Sharma, the CEO of the National Health Authority, told NDTV Wednesday, after the United Kingdom reversed a travel advisory that did not recognise Covishield as a COVID-19 vaccine, but seemed to exclude India from a list of countries whose citizens are exempted from having to quarantine on arrival.

"There are no issues on CoWin with certification... the system is entirely WHO compliant. We continue to have discussions with the International Civil Aviation Organization as well. UK High Commissioner visited me on September 2... they wanted to understand the system... the technical aspects," Dr Sharma told NDTV.

"A resource has been allocated and two further conversations have happened with their team. These were technical-level conversations," he said.
