In early September 2023, the Guinean Ministry of Health informed WHO of a diphtheria outbreak in the country. From July 4 to October 13, 2023, a total of 538 diphtheria cases were reported in the Kankan region of central eastern Guinea. The largest proportion of reported cases was in the 1-4 year age group.
In addition to full basic diphtheria immunization, persons traveling to or working in a country with diphtheria outbreaks should receive booster vaccinations at 10-year intervals.
