Families in the Pacific island nation were asked to hang red flags from their houses if they needed to be vaccinated. Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi told reporters the vaccine drive was unprecedented in the nation’s history.“They seem to take a kind of lackadaisical attitude to all the warnings that we had issued through the television and also through the radio,” he said.
