At the beginning of the Covid-19 vaccination for free earlier this year, Seychelles President Seychelles announced to achieve community immunity for two weeks.

President Wavel Ramkalawan's statement is an ambitious goal for a small island nation, separately in the Indian Ocean.

Seychelles's original effort seems to have succeeded, when becoming the country with the world's largest vaccination rate, with 60% of the full vaccination population.

But that success was threatened this week, when the Indian Island Nation is forced to re-establish some limitations, due to the recognition of the largest per capita infection rate ever.

The new infection of the country is relatively low, reaching an average of more than 100 shifts per day, but this is a big problem with a country with a population of less than 100,000 people.

In a small country like Seychelles, a small number of cases can make everything bad.

"Skull infection can put a great burden on the public health system," said Malshini Senaratne, Eco-Sol director, environmental consulting firm in Seychelles, said.

With the Covid-19 treatment facilities, the most of the capacity and doctors and nurses are also infected, Seychelles islands announced to restore a pandemic limited measures, close schools and limit hours

"Translation tends to increase," said Jude Gedeon, Community Health Commissioner, said in the press conference on May 4.

Seychelles's situation is being interested in the world, because this can be a typical example showing the effectiveness of the vaccine.

Mr. Huang noted that other countries were vaccinated for most of the population, such as Israel and England, witnessing the trend of sharply reducing cases.

Sherin Francis, CEO of the Seychelles Tourism Council, said there are still immunized population departments.

Francis stressed that even those who have immunized can still be re-infected.

So far, the number of people died because Covid-19 in Seychelles was relatively low, with 28 cases of a total of 6,000 cases.

About 60% of vaccine doses used in Seychelles are products of China Sinopharm manufacturing and given by UAE for this island.

The Seychelles government's vaccine negotiations take place quite quickly and conveniently, but these two vaccines are given to be effective against Covid-19 than other types.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recently estimates the effectiveness of Vaccine Sinopharm only at more than 78% for adults under 60 years of age, while large elderly patients have very little data proving the effectiveness of

The UAE has asked some people injecting Vaccine Sinopharm injecting the third nose with the reason for a low immune response, though officials said the group only accounted for a small amount.

Meanwhile, US tests showed that the Astrazeneca vaccine with a 79% overall result.

Jennifer Huang Bouy, an epidemist working in Rand Corp, is estimated that only 49% of Seychelles's population has immunity thanks to vaccines.

"It's not surprising that they don't see a decrease in infection. But what makes me surprised that they witnessed the number of shares since the end of April," Yanzhong Huang said.

Seychelles's new outbreak arrived after the island nation opened the tourist door again.

After nearly a year of strict border control, Seychelles earlier this year, announced to reopen for tourists from March 25.

This is an important move for Seychelles, with the tourism industry accounting for a quarter of the national economy.

While the number of new cases daily doubled since tourism-restriction measures were removed, only 10% of tourists to this island is positive for Covid-19, according to Mrs. Francis.

"Although suppressing limited measures, health care for visitors is also done to ensure their vacation in Seychelles are uninterrupted," Francis said, adding that the island country could guarantee to return results

Huang Bouy said that although the vaccine can stop the risk of death, more and more health professionals agree that this measure cannot prevent new cases or outbreaks.

"Isolation, wearing masks and avoiding exercises, should be part of a community health strategy," she said.

Shopping neighborhood in Victoria's capital of Seychelles crowded with people on April 2.

Senaratne, Director Eco-Sol, warned that Seychelles's current outbreak could cause visitors to avoid this island nation and forced the government to consider the balance between economic and health benefits.

"Covid-19 clearly shows the weaknesses of an island nation depending primarily on tourism," she said, adding that the country should diversify the economy.
