One of the ways cholera spreads quickly is through poor water storage.

Ensure safe drinking water: Avoid consuming water from contaminated sources.
Proper storage: Store drinking water in clean containers with tightly sealed lids.
Treat water: If unsure about the safety of your water source, boil it or use a water purification method.

#Diphtheria can be prevented by ensuring widespread immunity through vaccination, which is the most effective form of protection.

💉 Who needs the vaccine?
Everyone, especially children, should stay up-to-date on their routine diphtheria vaccines.

Healthcare workers exposed to diphtheria patients are strongly encouraged to get vaccinated to reduce their risk of infection and protect those around them.

Prevention starts with YOU. Let’s ensure our families, colleagues, and communities stay protected.
