If you were born and raised in Sweden and have received all childhood vaccinations at the Child Health Centre (BVC) and at school, you have been vaccinated against diphtheria. If you grew up in another country, you may have been vaccinated, but the programs differ from country to country.
If you are unsure about which vaccines you have received, regardless of where you grew up, if possible, contact a family member who may know if you have received these vaccines before you tick the box do not know.
There is no vaccination program for booster doses of diphtheria, but you may have taken booster doses yourself at a vaccination office or, for example, in connection with military service, wound injury or employment. The booster doses for tetanus usually also include diphtheria, so please state in the comment whether you have received the tetanus vaccine in the last 20 years.
