Overview

Narrative review shows regional disparities in diphtheria incidence, highlighting vaccine hesitancy and surveillance gaps.

Key Points

  • Vaccination coverage remains crucial to achieving herd immunity across different populations.
  • Observational analysis highlights gaps in surveillance and data collection practices impacting timely outbreak responses.
  • Community engagement and targeted interventions are vital for improving vaccination outcomes and public health strategies.
