Seychelles President Wavel Ramkalawan said vaccines that have been widely administered to the nation’s population are working even as the Indian Ocean archipelago experiences a surge in coronavirus cases.
The country has fully inoculated 62.2% of its population, the biggest proportion of any nation, issuing them with either Sinopharm shots or Covishield vaccines that are made under license from AstraZeneca Plc. Even so, its number of active cases more than doubled to 2,486 in the week to May 10, and 37% of those patients had received two doses.
