Even though COVID affected everyone the same, the world saw a variety of its vaccines coming up. Each vaccine has a different efficiency rate and affects every individual differently. Because of this, not every vaccine is being accepted everywhere. Each country has its own list of vaccines.
If you are a traveler who has been restricted to their homes during COVID and got your vaccine done just so you could travel again, we have some bad news for you. Depending on the shot you got, there is only a limited number of places you can visit. Covid 19 vaccine tracker website has documented which countries are allowing a certain vaccine. So if your vaccine is on the list of that country, get your travel bag ready, my friend.
