Seroprevalence of anti-diphtheria toxoid antibody and implications for vaccination policy in Vietnam’s South-central coast: a cross-sectional study
It is crucial to promote routine vaccination coverage to over 95% for children under one year of age with three primary doses of the diphtheria-containing vaccine, including additional doses at 18 months and 7 years of age. Booster doses should be promoted and administered to adolescents and adults every 10 years.
