Which Countries Have Approved Covaxin, Made in India Covid-19 Vaccine..

Which countries have approved the Emergency use of the Covaxin Vaccine which is a Home Grown Vaccine of India..


Nowadays, A lot of countries are reopening their international borders to essential foreign travelers, and some countries are even open for regular tourists who want to enter their country for leisure travel..

Some countries are only open for fully vaccinated travelers and some are open even for unvaccinated guests.. But those countries that are allowing unvaccinated travelers, require the travelers to quarantine upon arrival.. However, they provide an exemption from quarantine and testing protocols if an individual is fully vaccinated..

Each country has its own list of vaccines that will be recognized in their country..

WHO Approved Covaxin 

WHO was not giving approval to Covaxin for Many months and they kept on asking for more documents but finally, they have approved the Covaxin and added Covaxin in the Emergency use listing, for now, WHO only have approved Covaxin for 18+ peoples but the FDA of India has already approved the COvaxin of peoples over 2 years..

However, WHO is still thinking to give the green flag to Covaxin for pregnant ladies, because they are still not sure if Covaxin is safe for pregnant ladies or not, but the Bharat Biotech will give more additional documents and prove it that Covaxin is safe for pregnant ladies too..

Which countries have approved Covaxin 

If you are from India, you must have taken either Covaxin or Covishield (AstraZeneca). The Covishield is approved in most of the countries because it holds approval from the WHO for many months.. But Covaxin just got approval from the WHO and that is the reason why very few countries have given approval to Covaxin but slowly every country will start giving approval to Covaxin..

These 15 countries have approved the Covaxin

  • Australia
  • Estonia
  • Guyana 
  • Greece
  • India 
  • Iran
  • Mauritius 
  • Mexico 
  • Nepal 
  • Oman
  • Paraguay 
  • Philippines 
  • Zimbabwe
  • United Kingdom 
  • United States of America 
  • SriLanka (Sri Lanka did not officially approve the Covaxin but the Sri Lankan government said, any vaccine which is approved in the country of Origin will be accepted in Sri Lanka, Hence they indirectly approved every vaccine)
Note - Most of the above countries are not open at the time I am writing this blog, but these are the countries that have approved the Covaxin for now..
