We the People Vax, sponsored by the Indiana Immunization Coalition, is a group of coalitions and health organizations raising awareness of the patriotism of vaccinating. Their campaigns include one designed for America’s 250th Independence Day.

Their 4th of July campaign includes:

  • An MP4 video to share as a reel on Facebook and Instagram or as a post on any social media platform
  • Two static JPG graphics
  • Sample messages for easy and effective sharing (use #WeThePeopleVax in all posts)

America’s founding is in part due to the success of immunization. Forces of the Continental Army, weakened by repeated outbreaks of smallpox, lost the battle of Québec City in December 1775 and were forced to retreat to Fort Ticonderoga. Later, George Washington ensured his troops were healthy enough to fight the British by having soldiers in the Continental Army inoculated against smallpox. Today, vaccines protect our military, police forces, frontline workers, schools, communities, and families.
