The traditional vaccination is effective for three years at the most. A few doses of Diphtherinum 200 should be followed a few months later with Diphtherinum CM. This will offer protection against Diphtheria for life. Diphtherinum has been compared to the formal vaccination. It was found that some of the children who were given the vaccination still contracted Diphtheria or developed some ailment as a reaction to the vaccination itself, while in the case of Diphtherinum, not one child contracted Diphtheria nor were there any other complications or side effects.
