People going abroad will have to get their CoWIN vaccination certificates linked to their passport.

People going abroad for education, jobs or as part of Indian contingent for Tokyo Olympic, will have to get their CoWIN vaccination certificates linked to their passport. They can also take the second dose of vaccine after 28 days, the Centre said today as part of a new set of rules for vaccination.

The new rules also said that mention of the vaccine-type as “Covishield” is sufficient and “no other qualifying entries are required”, the government added, triggering questions on whether only the Serum Institute vaccine is acceptable abroad.
