Gulf South VECTOR is excited to share this downloadable social media toolkit that highlights the importance of using insect repellent at outdoor sporting events and game watch parties. Cheering on your team or hosting a watch party often means spending hours outside in areas where mosquitoes and ticks are active, increasing the risk of bites and exposure to vector-borne diseases.
This toolkit was developed to support organizations, agencies, and businesses in encouraging fans and outdoor enthusiasts to make repellent a regular part of their game day routine. All graphics are reviewed by experts and ready to share, giving partners the resources they need to promote simple, effective protection against mosquito and tick bites.
This toolkit includes four graphic assets and two suggested post captions. Any caption option can be paired with any graphic.
