Diphtheria is a contagious skin or throat infection, caused by a nasty type of bacteria that can release a toxin which can make you very sick. Without treatment, infected people
can spread diphtheria to others for more than four weeks from when their symptoms first start.
AHCWA has developed resources to assist with preparing and responding to diphtheria in your ACCHS. Please download and share the resources below.
