Diphtheria has reappeared in Morocco after more than three decades. The Ministry of Health announced the detection of two limited household outbreaks in the Souss-Massa region, one in Agadir Ida Ou Tanane and the other in Shoukte Ourika. One case has been confirmed through laboratory testing, while investigations are ongoing for eight other cases, including two deaths. The data indicates that the affected children either did not receive the vaccine or did not complete the recommended doses, posing a threat of the disease's return, which had become rare thanks to vaccination. The warning emphasizes the importance of tracking and identifying contact cases, catching up on vaccinations for unvaccinated children, and ensuring prevention to stop the further spread of the disease—especially in light of the recent recurrence of measles in the area.
