KNOW THE SIGNS OF DIPHTHERIA, PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR LOVED ONES:
Diphtheria is a serious and highly contagious bacterial infection that can spread easily. Early recognition and prompt medical attention can save lives.
Watch out for signs such as:
πΉ Sore throat
πΉ Fever
πΉ Swollen neck
πΉ Weakness or unusual tiredness
πΉ A thick grey or white coating in the throat or nose
πΉ Difficulty breathing or swallowing
β οΈ Do not ignore these symptoms or self-medicate. If you or someone around you develops symptoms suggestive of diphtheria, seek medical care immediately at the nearest appropriate health facility.
π Vaccination remains one of the best protections against diphtheria. Ensure children receive their recommended routine immunizations and keep vaccinations up to date.
