Covishield is another product name for the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, and it was authorised for use in other countries under that name, but not in the United Kingdom. The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine approved for use in the UK is Vaxzevria. Some people in the UK will be recorded as have received Covishield, but they would have received the vaccine only in countries where it was authorised.
