In an interview with Tala Fou TV1 Samoa, Leausa said they have to improve coverage and if people are unsure whether their children are vaccinated then they should get them vaccinated.
There have been 3 deaths related to measles, 15 confirmed cases and 314 suspected cases of measles since an epidemic was declared in Samoa early October..
Leausa said the ministry had to modify operations including closing some General Outpatient services to mobilise staff to focus on the epidemic.
