Samoa's capacity to address the Covid-19 pandemic has been boosted with a $US140,000 Emergency Aid Grant from Japan.
Japan said its support would strengthen Samoa's vaccine cold chain.
Japanese ambassador to Samoa, Genichi Terasawa, said Tokyo was committed to assisting Apia's preparatory and response efforts to the pandemic.
Terasawa said with UNICEF Pacific's support on the ground, Japan could also provide transportation to ensure the vaccination rollout gets underway smoothly in Samoa.
