Both covaxin and covishield are safe and effective vaccines as per scientific data. Who approvals and travel clearances are a matter of paperwork and doesn't diminish it's efficiency. How long it will take to receive clearance can only be answered by who officials. On the other hand, incidences of blood clot with covishield has only been seen in some rare cases and there are barely any such cases reported till date in india. So unless you are planning to travel abroad, you can take either of them. If you need to travel abroad, you can safely take covishield as it is widely accepted and available in abundance in india.
