<p>The Serum Institute of India (SII) manufactures both Vaxzevria and Covishield vaccines
and both branded vaccines are exactly the same COVID-19 AstraZeneca vaccine. All SII-made
doses approved by the United Kingdom (UK) regulator, the Medicines and Healthcare
Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and administered in the UK were branded as the ’COVID-19
vaccine AstraZeneca’ which is now known commercially as ‘Vaxzevria’.</p><p> </p><p>The
government continues to liaise with counterparts in Italy and we are seeking Italian
confirmation that they will recognise all AstraZeneca doses administered in the UK.
We will ensure that Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office Travel Advice is
kept up to date following any developments.</p>
