Seychelles began its vaccination campaign against coronavirus. Health Minister Peggy Vidot made the announcement which makes Seychelles one among the primary African countries to launch such an operation.
Among the first vaccinated citizens was the archipelago’s President Wavel Ramkalawan. This vaccine is the Chinese public laboratory Sinopharm vaccine established with the China National Biotec Group subsidiary Chinese (CNBG).
The United Arab Emirates donated Seychelles 50,000 doses. The whole population of the island of the Archipelago should be voluntarily vaccinated.
