Serum Institute of India (SII) CEO Adar Poonawalla on Monday said he has taken up the issues being faced by Indians vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine Covishield in travelling to European Union (EU), and hopes that the matter will be resolved soon.

As per news reports, Covishield may not be a part of the vaccines approved by EU for its ‘vaccine passport’ for travel to the member states.
