Protect your baby from measles with 2 doses of measles vaccine. 1️⃣ In countries where measles is common it is vital to give the first dose around 9 months of age, in other countries at 12-15 months of age. 2️⃣ Give the second dose later in childhood to ensure for full protection. ⏰ Remember: Infants can be vaccinated around 6 months of age if there is an outbreak or before travel to endemic countries.

#Cholera spreads through food or water contaminated with bacteria, often from faeces. When people don’t have clean water or proper toilets, the risk of cholera rises. In #Angola, the rainy season is an added factor as floods can dirty the water supply & spread the disease more quickly. More info: bit.ly/4hRi6z2
