That struck me particularly odd, since I thought the SII product is based on the same formulation as the Astrazeneca product.
So let's say further down the road we get Biontech (boosters) from Fosun, it's not going to be treated the same as the German-manufactured product?!

Is US also practicing vaccine discrimination? I'm in a chat group where someone suggested US recognises vaccines but only those approved by FDA, but I am struggling to find where US even needs vaccine to enter at all (short of state passes like Excelsior pass)
