The Covishield version of AstraZeneca, produced by Pune-based Serum Institute of India (SII), has not been included in the list.

Domestically-manufactured Covishield, a version of the AstraZeneca vaccine, has been excluded from the list of anti-COVID-19 jabs that are eligible to avail the European Union (EU)’s ‘Green Pass’.

Green Pass, which would be available from July 1 onwards, can be used for unrestricted movement in all EU member states for business and tourism purposes.
