On 16 March 2020, Liberia registered its first case of COVID-19. Like other countries, it grappled with the pandemic, prompting the government to implement various strategies to respond and contain the outbreak.
By the end of 2022 Liberia’s COVID-19 vaccination rate was among the top three in Africa, at 81%. The country had also, at the height of the pandemic, introduced two new vaccines, immunizing more than 1.8 million children against polio and nearly 400 000 against typhoid.
