With the vaccination drive soon to be open to those aged 18 and above, students planning to go abroad for studies will have to ensure that they are taking only those vaccines that are recognised in the country they are going to, especially in the case of the United States. This has created significant confusion as students are getting different information from different corners.

While some students are being told that the Indian vaccine is not recognised, many others are yet to get clear details. As such, many are waiting for the arrival of vaccines by Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, which have been approved by the US.
