Ebola vaccination starts in Sierra Leone – 2021
The vaccination was launched in Kambia District, a primary international point of entry by road crossing, and of significant economic and commercial importance for Guinea and Sierra Leone. This preventive Ebola vaccination will continue over the coming days in eight other districts sharing borders with Guinea.
No case of the Ebola virus disease has been confirmed in Sierra Leone since the end of the 2014-2016 outbreak. However, health authorities in the country are ensuring that frontline health workers in health facilities where people who may be infected with Ebola would first present themselves for care are protected against the disease. Traditional healers, widely believed by community members to be imbued with healing powers and commercial motor bike riders who normally provide transportation services along the border districts and regional hospitals will also be vaccinated against Ebola to ensure their protection.
The Ministry of Health and Sanitation is leading the exercise to administer the Johnson & Johnson vaccines with technical, logistical and operational support from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on compassionate grounds. The vaccines were donated to Sierra Leone in April 2021 through the partnership between the World Health Organization and the vaccine manufacturer Johnson & Johnson.

President Bio together with the Social Welfare Minister, Madam Baindu Dassama-Kamara, have launched the Livelihood Support Project and the Accessibility Audit Report.
The event which draws the attention of many Ministers of Government was geared towards aiding the socio-economic development of People With Disabilities (PWDs) across the country.
In his statement, His Excellency President Julius Maada Bio said the launch of the Livelihood Support Project was a sign of his Government’s preparedness to address street begging among persons with disabilities and to improve the country’s human rights credentials by empowering vulnerable groups in the country.
He added that the launch of the Accessibility Audit Report would also encourage stakeholders to support the Government in building a barrier-free environment for persons with disabilities, stating that the Persons with Disability Act 2011 provided for a barrier-free environment for persons with disabilities.
“As part of the process of reducing vulnerability and tackling the menace of street begging among PWDs, the Ministry of Social Welfare is working on this economic empowerment programme with the aim of building the capacity of persons with disabilities through skills training, provision of start-up kits, provision of reintegration package, provision of social safety net in the form of cash transfer among others to end street begging among persons with disabilities. The skills will include welding, tailoring, hairdressing, information and communication technology, carving, beadwork, gara tie-dying and tricycle riding,” he announched.
