Covaxin Approval: New Insights

Walter J. Lindner, German ambassador to India, on May 26th Thursday hailed the German government for recognizing the WHO-listed Bharat Biotech’s Covid vaccine, Covaxin, for travel to the country starting June 1.

Taking to Twitter, the Ambassador said: "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)."

The World Health Organization in November last year issued an emergency use listing (EUL) for Covaxin.
