What is diphtheria?

A painful throat is frequently the first symptom of the deadly illness diphtheria, which can quickly lead to respiratory difficulties. It can harm the nervous system and the heart, and in extreme situations, it can be fatal.

Through intimate contact, diphtheria can be passed from one person to another.

What is tetanus?

Tetanus is a neurological condition that can cause breathing difficulties, produce muscle spasms, and potentially be lethal.

It is brought on when germs from manure and soil enter the body through burns, sores, or open wounds. Tetanus cannot be transmitted from one person to another.

What is pertussis (Whooping Cough)?

Long episodes of coughing and choking brought on by whooping cough can make it difficult to breathe. The duration of whooping cough might reach ten weeks.

Whooping cough is especially dangerous to infants under a year old. The condition is deadly for newborn babies and is quite dangerous. The severity is typically lower in older kids.

Through close contact, whooping cough can be transferred from one person to another.

What is polio?

The polio virus targets the neurological system and can render the muscles permanently paralysed. Whether it affects the brain or the chest muscles. Polio may be lethal.

The polio virus typically spreads through direct contact between people or through ingesting tainted food or water.
