Glasgow fought tuberculosis long after rates fell elsewhere in Britain. In 1957, the city launched a month-long mass X-ray drive—backed by a full media blitz. This ad appeared on the side of a tram. This image is from the Wellcome Collection, London.

When vaccine coverage drops, history shows what happens, diseases we’ve nearly eliminated start re-emerging. Outbreaks follow: more infections, hospitalisations and even deaths. It’s not “if” but “when”.

Don't wait, vaccinate.

Tell Premier Danielle Smith and your MLA: vaccines are a public good and must be free for everyone.

Charging is unfair, reckless, & dangerous.

Axe the Vax Tax: Health Shouldn’t Come With a Price Tag
Charging for vaccines means fewer people get protected. Families living paycheck to paycheck will skip vaccines. Workers will get sick, especially health care and education workers.

Why It Matters

The birth dose has helped virtually eliminate pediatric hepatitis B in the U.S.—cutting infections by more than 95% since the early 1990s.

Delaying or narrowing that policy could reopen gaps in protection for newborns.
