When was your last diphteria shot?

Take a moment to recall when your diphteria vaccination was last refreshed: The bacteria has surfaced in Spain for the first time in almost 30 years, because anti-vaxxers. The vaccination needs to be refreshed every 10 years. So are you up to date?

The disease itself seems sucky enough on its own, but because it’s mostly extinct in many areas of the world, even getting treatment can be tricky:

The Russian ambassador to Spain brought the drug by plane from Moscow early Monday.

Better not to get ill in the first place than to wait for the drug to be brought in from Russia.
