Canada has become the latest country to approve India-made Covaxin, which means that it those jabbed with Covaxin will now be allowed entry, provided they follow the guidelines laid. Firstly, those intending to travel to Canada should be fully-vaccinated as well. The permission to allow travellers jabbed with Covaxin will come into effect from November 30.
An important fact to remember is that the second dose of vaccine must be taken by travellers at least 14 days before their arrival in Canada.
The decision was announced by the Public Health Agency of Canada, stating that, "Beginning Nov 30, the #GOC will expand its list of #Covid19 vaccines accepted for entry to Canada to include Sinopharm, Sinovac and COVAXIN. Travellers must have received a full vaccine series at least 14 days before entry to Canada."
Last week, Canada announced an expansion of its list of approved COVID-19 vaccines, bringing in respite for a large number of travellers who have been wanting to visit the nation. India, of course, is home to a high number of people who have ties with Canada, who have been eagerly awaiting such a decision.
