Abstract: Lebanon has been dealing with protracted crises and consecutive existential shocks for decades. Most recently, the triple blow of a severe economic crisis, the Beirut Port Explosion and a global pandemic has wreaked havoc across the country that had already been burdened by the Syrian refugee crisis. In under two years, the Lebanese Lira lost 90% of its value with dire consequences on the availability of basic services and supplies. The crippling effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have only exacerbated the crisis, placing the healthcare system under extreme stress and hampering imports of medical supplies and essential vaccines. The complex result is a severe shortage of essential vaccines in the private sector and a marked reduction in demand for immunizations on the part of the population.
