The Corona virus caused the death of 6 people who were fully vaccinated in Seychelles, which suffers from a high incidence of Covid-19 virus despite its progression to the first place in the world in terms of the percentage of fully vaccinated its population.
And according to Arab Net, the island’s public health commissioner, Judd Gideon, said in a press conference on Thursday, that five of them received the Covishield vaccine, which is an Indian version of the AstraZeneca vaccine, while the sixth received the Sinopharma vaccine, according to Bloomberg. Al-Arabiya.net.
This comes as Kofishield is mainly intended for people over the age of 60 in Seychelles. Gideon said all those who died were seriously ill.
Gideon added that the increase in infections, which rose at the beginning of May and remained at high levels since then, is likely due to the arrival of the highly contagious delta variant, which was first identified in India.
Gideon said Delta appears to have come in Seychelles in May, which explains the increase at the beginning of May. He added, we assume that the majority of cases that were monitored in the month of May were of this type.
