Diphtheria became a significant public health concern in the UK during the late 19th century, particularly from the 1880s onward. Outbreaks were reported, and the disease was a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children. The introduction of a diphtheria vaccine in the 1920s helped to greatly reduce the incidence of the disease.
