⚠️ Diphtheria cases have recently been reported in the Northern Territory and are on the rise.
Diphtheria is uncommon, but can be serious — and vaccination is the best protection.
If it’s been 10 years or more since your last diphtheria/tetanus booster, you may be due. The vaccination is free and routine for people under age 20 years and pregnant women.
📅 Make an appointment with your doctor to check if you’re up to date.
Staying vaccinated helps protect you and our whole community.
