Wyoming's Darkly Humorous Vaccine Ad Goes Viral
The Wyoming Department of Health's vaccine ad campaign, titled "A Hairy Time," has gained national attention for its darkly humorous approach. Inspired by historical newspaper articles about tetanus-related deaths, the ad features a graveside service where a man died from shaving. The campaign aims to address a decline in vaccine compliancy in Wyoming, partly due to anti-vaccine disinformation and complacency. The ad highlights the importance of vaccines in controlling or eradicating once-common diseases like polio, Hepatitis B, and tetanus. The cinematic ad, funded by federal funding, combines humor and beautiful visuals to engage viewers and promote vaccine awareness.
