A man who had received two doses of a version of AstraZeneca Plc’s coronavirus vaccine died of the disease in Seychelles on Thursday.
The man, who was 54, is the first fully vaccinated person in the country to die of Covid-19, Jude Gedeon, the island nation’s public health commissioner, said at a press conference. He didn’t say how long ago the man had taken his vaccine or whether the case is being investigated by AstraZeneca.
