In Its revised travel advisory, the UK Government says Covishield qualifies as an approved vaccine after India raised strong objections and warned of tit-for-tat measures, but Indians double-vaccinated with the shot still have to quarantine.
Updated UK guidelines say, "Formulations of the four listed vaccines, such as AstraZeneca Covishield, AstraZeneca Vaxzevria and Modern Takeda, qualify as approved vaccines."
However, according to a UK High Commission statement yesterday, its government is "working with India to expand recognition of vaccine certification."
This suggests that Indians vaccinated with two doses of Covishield will still need to quarantine even though India is now on the Amber list. The implication is that the problem is not Covishield but doubts over vaccination certification in India.
