World Sepsis Day on September 13th is only 10 days away - with this post, we want to give you some ideas to show your support on social media, be it Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, LinkedIn, or something else entirely.
Posts for Social Media
For social media, you can use the following posts, either with or without a WSD Infographic or a Sepsis Awareness Clip (most work better with). All posts are 280 characters or less, meaning they work on Twitter effortlessly:

The official hashtags for World Sepsis Day are:
