"Getting vaccines from overseas is a good idea but it can also be bad. None of the people living in Samoa have tested positive for COVID-19 but we are planning to get vaccinated when the vaccines arrived. I doubt the vaccine, it might introduce a new form of pandemic to our beautiful country. It is appropriate for overseas country to get vaccinated since there's COVID-19 there. But who knows these vaccines can cause death?"

Susana Leuma, 34, Siusega.

"I strongly say no and am against those vaccines because that would be the cause of death for people in our country. This vaccines will lead to a rise in the pandemic and bring a negative effect. I fear that one of my family members might get vaccinated and pass it on later. I am not sure of these vaccines, but it's best to get someone else vaccinated first and if there's no side effects then I will surely get vaccinated too."

Harina Salatielu Ulberg, 44, Tulaele.

"Getting vaccines from overseas is a good idea, but we're not sure of the ingredients used in the vaccine. It might clear us all out of our country so I can never accept these vaccines. I am worried with the motives of using these vaccines, which is to prevent getting infected by COVID-19 but people overseas are still dying from it." 

Okesa Maeli Wright, 61, Lotopa. 

"Please I don't support the idea of getting vaccinated because I have health problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes and kidney disease. This is enough for me so getting injected with a COVID-19 vaccine is not on my list. I take tablets to help me with these non-communicable diseases. Getting vaccinated might cause me to have more problems with my health."

Fa'avae Tavao, 39, Eva.

"I am against COVID-19 vaccines as we've all tested negative for coronavirus. Vaccines should only be given to people who are travelling within our country to ensure the safety of our people. I am not sure what the Prime Minister had in mind for people who are entering our country. We should all say no to this vaccines, especially when there are a lot of pandemics in the world."

Simate Simate, 20, Vaitele Uta.

"If this vaccine can cure the COVID-19 pandemic then we should all get vaccinated to prevent getting tested positive. If not, then I see no reason why we must undergo vaccination. Also we can see how the death rate is increasing in overseas nations despite vaccines being rolled out to the population. Getting vaccinated when you test negative is unnecessary."
