Australia recognises Covishield COVID-19 vaccine ahead of border reopening

Australia has recognised India-made Covishield COVID-19 vaccine and China’s CoronaVac ahead of border reopening from November. The nation’s top drugs regulator, the Therapeutic Goods Administration, said the shots should be “recognised vaccines” in determining incoming travellers as being inoculated, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Friday. Earlier, Italy recognised Covishield vaccine.
