He said vaccination would be given to prevent the disease.

“We need to vaccinate children at six weeks and the good news is that the vaccination is free,” he said

Mohammed described the deaths of the students as unfortunate saying laboratory tests would confirm if they died of Diphtheria.

Diphtheria is a serious but vaccine-preventable disease caused by bacteria and the common symptoms are sore throat, difficulty breathing, swollen glands in the neck, fever and chill, among others.
