Hmmmm.
It's pretty good, except for the {yoHtaHwI'} forming a
possessive construction with {SuvwI'}. You actually are saying
"The brave one's fighter is definitely alert." I'm not sure
that quite fits the intended meaning.
ropqangbe' SuvwI' yoH: DaH "Hepatitus B" Hergh yISuq!
"A brave warrior is not willing to be sick: Get your Hepatitus
B medicine NOW!"
Or how about:
{SuvwI' lI'be' ghaH SuvwI''e' rop: DaH...}
"A sick warrior is a useless warrior: Now, get your shots!"
