The Government of Samoa through the Ministry of Health has
issued information brochures on the COVID-19 vaccination roll out for Samoa
The brochures which come in both languages (Samoan and English), provide essential information on
the COVID-19 vaccine, reassuring its safety and efficacy. Furthermore, the brochures contain relevant
information on who should be vaccinated, important health requirements, and the vaccination
exclusion criteria.
The AstraZeneca vaccine has been confirmed for Samoa, and will come in two doses. These doses
must be complete and will be administered 8-12 weeks apart.
The brochures highlight possible side effects of the vaccine such as fever, headache, swelling at the
injection site, tiredness, and chills.
The public is hereby advised to contact the COVID-19 Hotline: 8006440 for further information and
inquiries.
As part our national efforts for the successful roll out of the COVID-19 vaccination plan for Samoa, the
Disaster Advisory Committee (DAC) implores the country’s support and assistance.
For other non-health related inquiries, please contact the National Emergency Operation Centre
(NEOC) on 997.
