原文內容：

Seychelles, which has fully vaccinated more of its population against the
coronavirus than any other country, has closed schools and canceled sporting
activities for two weeks as infections surge.

The measures, which include bans on the intermingling of households and the
early closure of bars, come even as the country has fully vaccinated more
than 60% of its adult population with two doses of Covid-19 vaccines. The
curbs are similar to those last imposed at the end of 2020.

“Despite of all the exceptional efforts we are making, the Covid-19
situation in our country is critical right now, with many daily cases
reported last week,” Peggy Vidot, the nation’s health minister, said at a
press conference Tuesday.

The Indian Ocean archipelago, which has a population of about 98,000, is
dependent on tourism for much of its foreign exchange and acted quickly to
begin vaccinations in January using a donation of Chinese vaccines from the
United Arab Emirates. It has procured other vaccines since.

By April 12, 59% of the doses administered were Sinopharm vaccines and the
rest were Covishield, a version of AstraZeneca Plc’s shot made under license
in India.

To date 62.2% of its population is fully vaccinated, according to the
Bloomberg Vaccine Tracker. That compares with 55.9% for Israel, the next most
vaccinated nation.

‘Global Implications’
The number of active cases in the nation rose to 1,068 on May 3 from 612 on
April 28, according to the health ministry.

Of those cases, 84% are Seychellois and the rest are foreigners, Daniel
Lucey, Clinical Professor of Medicine at Dartmouth Geisel School of Medicine,
said in a blog post. Just under two thirds of those are either unvaccinated
or have only had one dose, and the rest have had two doses, he said.

While data on genetic sequencing are not yet available for infections in
April, the B.1.351 variant, first identified in South Africa late last year,
was found in the Seychelles in February, he said. AstraZeneca’s vaccine
appeared to be less effective against that variant in a study, and South
Africa halted plans to use it.

A comparison between Sinopharm, Covishield, and unvaccinated infected persons
” could be done using genetic sequencing and data on the severity of their
infections, Lucey said. “Given the widespread international use of these two
vaccines there are global implications to what is happening now in the
Seychelles.”

Officials at the press conference gave little detail on what could be behind
the infection surge other than to say people were taking fewer precautions
against the virus than before and the surge may be due to celebrations after
Easter.

Jude Gedeon, Seychelles’ public health commissioner, didn’t answer calls
made to his mobile phone or immediately answer a text message.

Other nations that have vaccinated large portions of their populations have
seen Covid cases plunge. In the U.K., where 52% of people have a first dose,
cases are down 96% from a recent high in January. In Israel, where 60% have
had at least one dose, new cases are down 99%.

機翻如下：

塞席爾已經為其人口接種了比其他國家更多的冠狀病毒疫苗，但由於感染率激增，塞席爾
已經關閉了學校並取消了兩周的體育活動。

這些措施包括禁止家庭混雜和提前關閉酒吧，甚至在該國已經為超過60%的成年人口全面
接種了兩劑Covid-19疫苗的情況下採取的。這些限制與上次在2020年底實施的限制類似。

"國家衛生部長佩吉-維多特（Peggy Vidot）在週二的新聞發佈會上說："儘管我們做出了
所有特殊的努力，但我國的Covid-19情況現在很嚴重，上周每天都有許多病例報告。

這個印度洋群島的人口約為98,000人，其大部分外匯依賴旅遊業，並迅速採取行動，利用
阿拉伯聯合酋長國捐贈的中國疫苗於1月開始接種疫苗。此後，它又採購了其他疫苗。

截至4月12日，59%的接種劑量是國藥集團的疫苗，其餘的是Covishield，這是阿斯利康公
司在印度授權生產的一種疫苗版本。

根據彭博疫苗跟蹤報告，迄今為止，該國62.2%的人口已全面接種疫苗。相比之下，第二
大疫苗接種國以色列的接種率為55.9%。

全球影響
根據衛生部的資料，全國的活躍病例從4月28日的612例上升到5月3日的1068例。

達特茅斯大學蓋瑟爾醫學院的臨床醫學教授丹尼爾-盧西在一篇博文中說，在這些病例中
，84%是塞席爾人，其餘是外國人。他說，其中不到三分之二的人要麼沒有接種疫苗，要
麼只接種了一劑疫苗，其餘的人接種了兩劑疫苗。

他說，雖然目前還沒有4月份感染的基因測序數據，但去年年底在南非首次發現的B.1.351
變體，2月份在塞席爾發現。在一項研究中，阿斯利康公司的疫苗似乎對該變體的效果較
差，南非停止了使用該疫苗的計畫。

Lucey說，可以利用基因測序和他們感染的嚴重程度的資料，在國藥集團、科威公司和未
接種疫苗的感染者之間進行比較"。"鑒於這兩種疫苗在國際上的廣泛使用，現在在塞席爾
發生的事情有全球性的影響"。

在新聞發佈會上，官員們幾乎沒有詳細說明感染率激增背後的原因，只是說人們對病毒的
預防措施比以前少，而且激增可能是由於復活節後的慶祝活動。

塞席爾的公共衛生專員Jude Gedeon沒有接聽他的手機電話，也沒有立即回復短信。

其他對大部分人口進行了疫苗接種的國家看到武漢肺炎病例驟減。在英國，52%的人接種
了第一針，病例比1月份的最高值下降了96%。在以色列，60%的人至少接種了一劑，新病
例下降了99%。


心得/評論：

關鍵字：阿斯捷利康和中國疫苗

病毒和人類都很忙，他們都很想活下去

希望這個案例不會是未來全球的縮影

桃園已經有些小店家在哀嚎生意又垮下去了

10月會不會又需要再發一次消費券呢？
