Hate to link to FB, but this is a first-person account from a physician in a well-equipped hospital who attempted to manage a child with diphtheria. Some vaccines are nice to have, but Tdap is essential.
@GeezerWench He's in India. He doesn't say what the parents' socioeconomic level is. They may have been too poor for vaccines and only scraped together enough money for a hospital visit when it was apparent the child was in a life-threatening situation rather than a typical sore throat. There may be no money to be raised from friends and relatives in the future if another child gets sick.
