France allows visitors inoculated with India's Covishield vaccine

India TV News  

France will allow international travellers who have had AstraZeneca's Indian-manufactured vaccine into the country starting Sunday. The move to accept visitors vaccinated with AstraZeneca's vaccine made by India's Serum Institute came after a global outcry over the fact that the European Union's COVID-19 certificate only recognises AstraZeneca vaccines manufactured in Europe. Starting Sunday, France will also start requiring anyone who isn't vaccinated arriving from Britain, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Greece or Cyprus to present a negative test less than 24 hours old to cross French borders. Tunisia, Indonesia, Cuba and Mozambique have now been added to France's “red list” of countries with high virus risk, according to Saturday's statement. France also shortened the time frame for when a person is considered fully vaccinated after the second dose, to one week instead of two.
