Morocco Urgently Addresses Diphtheria Cases
The Moroccan Ministry of Health and Social Protection announced the detection of two family clusters of diphtheria in the Souss-Massa region, after more than 30 years without any cases of the disease. The reemergence of this rare disease serves as an indication of the need for precise outbreak monitoring, especially since similar situations have occurred in neighboring countries such as Algeria and Mauritania, where some children and adults who have not received complete vaccinations are experiencing waning immunity. Experts have called for rapid identification of contacts of the cases, verification of their vaccination status, and the organization of additional vaccination campaigns. They emphasized the importance of remaining calm but dealing seriously with the potential return of this disease and the decline of herd immunity in the community.
