       SUMMARY - The country of Nigeria is struggling to contain an
       outbreak of Diphtheria which has left 800 people dead and 14,000
       infected since the start of 2023. The epicenter of the current
       outbreak is in the state of Kano although the outbreak has
       spread through half of the nations 36 states. Diphtheria is a
       highly contagious and potentially life-threatening bacterial
       disease which affects the respiratory tract and skin. Lack of
       vaccines, declining immunization and vaccine skepticism has
       contributed to the current outbreak.
