This time, a fifteen-year-old schoolchild from the Kiev region fell ill with diphtheria. Insidious disease is officially confirmed, according to the website of the Ministry of Healthcare. The child is treated in the regional children's hospital in Boyarka.

This year, this is the third case of diphtheria in Ukraine. The ministry adds that in the case of diphtheria, the patient should be urgently vaccinated with antidiphtheria serum. Well-known journalist Irina Zaslavets writes on her social networking page that diphtheria is often mistaken for a sore throat (angina). And when people realize that they made a mistake, it's too late.

The patient can “burn” in a few hours from diphtheria. Meanwhile, only 19% of the population in Ukraine made themselves safe with vaccinations against that disease. According to Tatyana Shishimareva, the chief physician of the healthcare center of Konstantinovka, a person must do the vaccination against diphtheria and tetanus every 10 years, starting from the age of 16.

The vaccine is available in all out-patient hospitals, the vaccination is free.
