Not really. The bad anti-vaxxers movement was created the deaths of two children who died from taking a vaccine. That was due to negligence by the nurses (they mixed the vaccine with expired muscle relaxant)The measles outbreak in Samoa wasn't induced by anti vaxxers. It was the result of a high profile child death from a vaccine and poor government.
The Samoan community blamed vaccines in general even though it was clearly nothing to do with regular vaccines.
So they refused the MMR vaccines and many children died because without the vaccines, an outbreak occurred.
