21 Grams
Vaccine Veladora
2026 D&AD New Blood Awards Yellow Pencil Winner
21 Grams turns a symbol of protection into a literal one. Veladoras become invitations to covert vaccine clinics after Sunday Mass.
In communities where visibility means risk, protection has to stay hidden.
Long-term protection loses to immediate survival — not because vaccines aren't believed in, but because visibility is dangerous.
The protection spreads. One vaccinated family tells another.
One protected community inspires the next. Not because of traditional advertising, but because Latinos have always protected their own.
We just gave them one more way to do it.
