Infants death investigation

Samoa PM wants inquiry into infant deaths

The vaccine provides protection from measles, mumps and rubella.

The police are investigating the deaths as the Ministry of Health conducts its own inquiry.

The Director General of Health, Leausa Take Naseri, said the vaccination programme had been called off until the completion of the investigations.

"We have requested a forensic autopsy, post-mortem on the two babies because it's a police case. It's now also a very different case in the health field," he said.
