Canada to allow entry of travellers fully vaccinated with Covaxin from Nov 30

Ottawa: Canada is going to allow travellers fully vaccinated with the shots from Sinopharm, Sinovac and Covaxin to enter the country from November 30.

Currently, Canada accepts travellers who have received the vaccines, including Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Johnson and Johnson.

Canada has also announced that from November 30 by land or by air for less than 72 hours will no longer be required to provide proof of a negative molecular test to re-enter the country.

This change applies only to Canadians, permanent residents and individuals registered under the Indian Act, as well as accompanying children under 12, and individuals with medical contraindications to vaccination.
