A cooler and about 50 doses of vaccine were destroyed in the incident, as well.
Police and local officials later negotiated their release.
Gabriel Sandoval, the director of the local health department, said it was the first time such an incident occurred.
"Other communities have refused, but what they usually do is draw up papers saying we went to offer to vaccinate them, and they take responsibility for refusing it," Sandoval said.
"This was bound to happen," he said. "A lot of people don't believe [not very scientific is it?] in the illness. There is a clash of cultures."
Guatemala has reported 566,636 confirmed cases and 13,750 deaths from COVID-19. [if you believe this you definitely deserve to be injected including with yearly boosters]
