A member asked:
I was wondering what do tetanus and diphtheria have in common?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bacterial diseases: The most important thing for you to know that these are both bacterial diseases that have been conquered by immunization -- so long as we can get the immunization to people, overcoming superstition and slick disinformation campaigns.The bacteria are still very much with us. Both diseases are agonizing and often lethal.
