Liberia

Risk / Health Info for Liberia

What vaccines do I need for Liberia?

Before you leave for Liberia, consult our advisers about making sure your shots are up to date. Hepatitis A and typhoid vaccinations are recommended, especially as they are spread by unsafe water and food. Avoid “traveller’s diarrhea”: practise good food and water precautions. Bags of filtered water are sold on street corners in Liberia, but commercially bottled water from supermarkets may be safer. Do not eat food that has not been boiled or cooked or that you have not peeled.

You may need to get a yellow fever shot and certificate when you travel on from Liberia: ask your adviser at Canadian Travel Clinics whether a yellow fever vaccine is right for you.

Do I need a hepatitis B shot?

You might also consider a hepatitis B shot, especially if you plan to visit Liberia often or stay for an extended period. Hep B shots are recommended for children, too, and anyone who might come in contact with blood or body fluids such as people working in healthcare or dentistry. Hep B is also spread by unprotected sex and poorly sterilized needles.

What are the healthcare facilities like in Liberia?

Medical facilities are basic in Liberia, and will expect payment up front. Carry basic medical supplies to avoid placing a burden on local health services. There is no emergency service in Liberia. You will also need travel insurance to make sure you are covered for any medical costs, so check with your provincial or territorial health authority for more information.

Will I be able to obtain medication in Liberia?

It may be difficult to get hold of some medications in Liberia. For peace of mind, carry enough supplies for your entire trip and ensure you have enough to allow for delays.

What other health risks are there in Liberia?

Lassa fever cases have occurred in Liberia. This acute viral hemorrhagic illness can be caught from other people, but also from rodent droppings.

An outbreak of meningococcal septicaemia associated with a funeral caused 13 deaths in April and May 2017.

Malaria in Liberia
Malaria prophylaxis will be required for some parts of Liberia at certain times of year. There is no malaria vaccine, but there are anti-malaria drugs that should be taken before, during and after travelling to certain at-risk countries. Speak with your healthcare provider six weeks before your trip, as not all prophylaxis regimes are appropriate for all regions and all individuals.
Schistosomiasis in Liberia
The schistosomiasis parasite enters humans through the skin during contact with fresh water. To prevent infection, avoid swimming or paddling in lakes and streams in Liberia. This condition is also known as bilharzia.
