The British Prime Minister says he is "very confident" that the UK's use of India-produced jabs won't prevent people being able to travel abroad.
Boris Johnson played down concerns that people would miss out on foreign trips this summer because their COVID jabs aren't recognised by the EU's drug regulator, the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
It follows doses of an Astra-Zeneca vaccine batch made in India were given out in the UK and the Isle of Man.
It had been reported that up to five million Britons would not qualify for the EU's vaccine passport scheme because the AstraZeneca shots they received were manufactured in India.
But Mr Johnson said: "I see no reason at all why the MHRA-approved vaccines should not be recognised as part of the vaccine passports.
"I am very confident that will not prove to be a problem."
The Manx Government is yet to comment.
