The Seychelles is 60% vaccinated but still infections are rising. That s not as bad as it sounds CNN 1 hr ago By Julia Hollingsworth, CNN © Valery Sharifulin/TASS/Getty Images A man outside Arul Mihu Navasakthi Vinayagar Temple in Seychelles capital Victoria on April 3, 2021.
One of the most vaccinated countries in the world is experiencing a Covid-19 outbreak.
While other nations struggle to secure enough vaccines, the Seychelles is in the enviable position of having already fully immunized more than 61.4% of the population.
But that hasn t been enough to stop the spread of Covid.
Over the past month, case numbers have been rising in the Indian Ocean archipelago, prompting authorities to impose restrictions in the country of 98,000 people. Data released Thursday shows there are more than 2,700 active cases.

Coronavirus: world’s most vaccinated nation sees cases double; variant first identified in India found in Thailand, Philippines Agencies
Seychelles, which has vaccinated more of its population against Covid-19 than any other country, saw active cases more than double in the week to May 7, raising concerns that inoculation is not helping turn the tide in some places.
The World Health Organization said vaccine failure could not be determined without a detailed assessment and that it was working on evaluating the situation. Kate O Brien, director of the WHO s department of immunisation, vaccines and biologicals, told a briefing on Monday that the body was in direct communication with Seychelles and that a detailed assessment was needed looking at factors like strains of the virus and the severity of cases.

The president of Seychelles has refuted doubts over the effectiveness of China s COVID-19 vaccine produced by Sinopharm amid the epidemic surge in the country. President Wavel Ramkalawan said the vaccine is effectively helping to protect people from getting sick.
Chinese experts said that questioning by foreign media over the effectiveness of Sinopharm s vaccine is arbitrary and the surge of COVID-19 cases in Seychelles is fueled by multiple factors, such as mutant strains and the level of protective antibodies in the population.
