Description
Australia faces a severe diphtheria outbreak, with hundreds of cases across three states and a territory, primarily affecting Indigenous Australians.

The Northern Territory has reported 133 cases, with outbreaks in Western Australia, South Australia, and Queensland. The situation underscores the importance of consistent vaccination efforts as our best defense against diseases like diphtheria.
