Some Manx residents given AZ vaccine unable to travel to EU?

There's fear some people on Island may not be able to enter the EU, if they got a certain Astra Zeneca vaccine. 

It comes following news the EU is threatening not to recognise certain doses of an Astra Zeneca Vaccine batch made in India - which were subsequently administered on Island.

The EU now says it may refuse entry into the bloc for people given the jab (made by the Serum Institute), as they currently aren't licensed in Europe.

However some countries - including Greece, say they will recognise it.

The affected vaccines have seven digit batch numbers which are displayed on vaccine record cards.

The numbers are: 4120Z001, 4120Z002 and 4120Z003.
