- Measles has seen outbreaks in the Americas and mass events increase the risk for those who are not protected. Two doses of the MMR vaccine are your best play before the World Cup. #WithHealthWeAllWin #WorldCup
- The best way to protect your team is to keep it prepared. Before or during your trip, make sure your family's vaccinations are up to date. Some vaccine-preventable diseases are still circulating. 💉 Every vaccine strengthens the team's defense. #WithHealthWeAllWin #WorldCup

- Not every match is played the same way. Depending on your destination, you may need additional protection against hepatitis, typhoid fever, or yellow fever. ⚽ Get informed before you travel and consult a health professional. #WithHealthWeAllWin #WorldCup
- If you're traveling with children, start by checking their vaccinations and the rest of the family's. Before the World Cup, make sure the whole team is up to date. #WithHealthWeAllWin #WorldCup
