Moroccan Woman Denied Travel to Europe Despite Vaccine Pass, Highlighting Sinopharm Vaccine Challenges

The health pass should normally be a document capable of helping to travel abroad without difficulty. But the one stamped Sinopharm is an obstacle. The Chinese vaccine is not authorized by the European Medicines Agency, and it is becoming difficult for Moroccans who have received this vaccine to travel to Europe. This is the case of this Moroccan woman who wanted to go to Germany to see her son, but she was prevented by the police, with her health pass and a PCR test dating less than 48 hours.

While she was looking forward to seeing her son, she had to go back home, desperate and especially very angry. According to her, at the airport entrance, the police services checked her health pass and let her through, but it was at customs control that the counter clerk told her that she could not travel with this type of vaccine pass.

She wonders how a vaccine that leads to a dead end could have been authorized, and especially by what alchemy, the authorities will be able to resolve the situation and allow all those who have received the Chinese vaccine and who have travel plans, to travel without hassle?

The Sinopharm vaccine is the first with which Morocco started its vaccination campaign and which has saved many lives. In ordering the Chinese vaccine, the Moroccan authorities were far from suspecting that it would not be approved by the EU. What will the authorities do to solve the problem? Invite people in this case to receive one of the vaccines authorized by the EU (Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneka, Johnson& Johnson) to be able to leave the national territory? ", she wonders, on the verge of tears. Receiving several doses of different vaccines, won’t it have repercussions on health? These are questions that deserve reflection from the Moroccan authorities, she wonders.
