Abstract
The morbidity and mortality associated with diphtheria have been effectively managed through mass immunization strategies. Nevertheless, recent outbreaks of diphtheria have been reported in various regions of Africa and Asia. In addition to infections among children, there has been a notable increase in cases among middle-aged and elderly individuals, underscoring the necessity of continued vigilance in the control of diphtheria. This paper reviewed the epidemiology of diphtheria, the current application of vaccines, and immunization strategies, with the aim of providing evidence for the prevention and control of this disease.
