An anti-vaxxer has been arrested and denied bail for incitement against the Samoan Government's vaccination order.

The arrest is the first of its kind in Samoa and happened on the first day of a Government-ordered two-day shutdown, to allow the country to complete a mass vaccination campaign.

Samoa’s Attorney General received a complaint from a member of the public, which was referred to the Police.

After that, the man was arrested and charged.

Stuff.co.nz reports the man is accused of publicly stating "I'll be here to mop up your mess. Enjoy your killing spree", in regards to the current vaccination campaign.

He had received a previous warning from Police.
