ConclusionLong-standing high DTP3 coverage at Regional level probably explains the relatively few diphtheria cases reported in the Region. Suboptimal surveillance systems and inadequate laboratory diagnostic capacity may also be contributing factors. Still, the observed cases are of concern.

The quality of administrative data should be improved to ensure accurate and timely assessment of geographical inequalities in immunization.PMID:34475600 | PMC:PMC8381099 | DOI:10.2471/BLT.20.279232
