Parents raise concern over suspected diphtheria outbreak at Lagos school
Parents of students in King’s College Lagos have raised concerns over reports of a suspected diphtheria outbreak in the school that led to hospitalisation of some students.
The parents who spoke in separate interviews with NAN on Sunday blamed the outbreak on the unsanitary condition of the school.A parent who pleaded anonymity faulted the management of the school for its seeming silence and for not swinging into action promptly in the face of the outbreak. “Even some PTA Exco don’t like parents to openly complain about such. Last week, the school sent a message to parents to sign a consent form that would enable their children to receive diphtheria vaccines in the school premises.”
