The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) has added Covaxin (developed by Bharat Biotech) to the list of conditionally approved Covid-19 vaccines within its Covid-19 travel and return policy. The approval comes into immediate effect.
The other conditionally approved vaccines in Qatar are Sinopharm, Sinovac and Sputnik V. The approved vaccines are Pfizer/BioNTech (Comirnaty), Moderna (SpikeVax), AstraZeneca (Covishield/Oxford/Vaxzevria) and Jansen/Johnson & Johnson.
A serology antibody test with a positive result is mandatory before travelling to Qatar for people with two doses of a conditionally approved vaccine and 14 days after the second dose.
People who have received two doses of a conditionally approved vaccine followed by one dose of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, and after 14 days from the last dose, will be considered fully immune.
