Samoa’s Health Ministry rolls-out vaccination on Apolima Island

The Ministry of Health responded to concerns from Apolima and sent a team to conduct vaccinations on the island.

Apolima Island mayor, Leala Afe Solo said they were concerned that they were close to reaching the deadline for the first jab of the vaccination programme and they were yet to be vaccinated.

Many of the villagers are elderly and unable to travel to the main land to receive their jabs.

In response, the ministry sent a team by boat to Apolima to conduct vaccinations.
