3-year-old dies of diphteria

Jun 29, 2016


Malaysia has recorded its 3rd death from diphtheria, this time involving a 3-year-old boy from Menggatal, Sabah.

The state Health director confirmed the case, but denied rumours of an outbreak as claimed on Whatsapp.

It's unclear whether the child was vaccinated, as the previous 2 children who died of the disease did not receive full vaccination.

The Health Ministry says the families of the 2 earlier victims were not anti-vaccine, but were poor and lived a nomadic life.

As such, it will try to identify those left out of the immunistion programme due to socio-economic issues and help them.
