The reaction from the government came when Lav Agarwal, the joint secretary in the health ministry was asked about the reports that Indians vaccinated with the Bharat Biotech's Covaxin may not be allowed to undertake international travel, since the WHO hasn’t included the Hyderabad-based firm's vaccine in its list of vaccines for Emergency Use Listing.
