- The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) reports a nationwide outbreak of diphtheria, particularly affecting refugees, homeless individuals, and the unvaccinated.
- The disease is increasingly presenting as respiratory diphtheria, which can lead to severe complications.
- Vaccination is recommended from three months of age; however, vaccination rates have significantly declined, increasing risks for the population.
- Experts caution against vaccine fatigue, as awareness of the dangers of diphtheria is diminishing in society.
A fundamental dilemma of vaccinations is that they prevent diseases that many people today no longer know.— Reinhard Berner, Chairman of the Standing Committee on Vaccination (Stiko), to the German Press Agency
