🦠 #Diphtheria is a Vaccine Preventable Disease

It spreads quickly through direct contact with infected people, droplets from coughing or sneezing, or by touching contaminated objects.

🩺 Protect yourself and your loved ones by:
Keeping your vaccinations up to date
Practicing proper hygiene and handwashing
Avoiding close contact with anyone showing symptoms
Visit the nearest health facility if you feel unwell.

🚑 Early detection, reporting, and treatment save lives!
