Amid an escalatingĀ row over UK enforcing strict quarantine rules for Indians fully vaccinated against Covid-19 with Covishield, British officials on September 22 suggested that the main issue is Covid-19 vaccine certification & not the Covishield vaccine.

After a backlash over UK's refusal to recognise Covishield, London amended its new guidelines to include the Indian-made version of the AstraZeneca vaccine in its updated international travel advisory.

India had on September 21 warned of "reciprocal action" against the "discriminatory nature of UK vaccine recognition.ā Watch the video to know more.
