Arriving from the UK, I understand that if you have been double jabbed you are welcome in Spain without a test, - Does this include the 3 batch numbers (4120Z001, 4120Z002, 4120Z003) of the india astra zeneca vaccine which has not yet been certified by the EU ?         Thank You                

( up to five million doses of the version of the AZ jab in question have been administered in the UK and are identifiable by the vaccine batch numbers (4120Z001, 4120Z002, 4120Z003) included on recipients’ vaccine cards and in the Covid travel pass available via the NHS ap

Since posting I've found this, info so this is now for the benefit of others : I think the answer is YES according to this Info 

I think Covishield the indian one is accepted by Spain as it's approved by the WHO World Health Organisation
 

https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/spain/entry-requirements#vaccination

Given that Covaxin is not yet on the World Health Organisation (WHO) Emergency Use Listing, students who have received the vaccine and are travelling to the United States, Canada and other countries are now facing the prospect of having to get vaccinated with Covishield, which is the only WHO-approved vaccine available in India right now.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has, however, approved Covishield and lamented the fact that some countries were rejecting Covishield's use on vaccination passes.

"This is a great pity because AstraZeneca-Covishield is exactly the same vaccine as AstraZeneca-Vaxzevria, which is accepted as proof of vaccination," said Dr Richard Mihigo of the WHO Regional Office for Africa late on Tuesday.

"It is only that AstraZeneca-Covishield is manufactured and distributed in other parts of the world other than Europe."

He urged EU countries to recognise Covishield on vaccine passes.

Thanks for the info.  We read about these 3 batches yesterday and checked our batch numbers.  Our first jab was with one of these, but we have flown into Spain Wednesday with no issues.

Hopefully will be recognised elsewhere soon.
