Modern Czech matchbox label

Solo Lipnik - UUZO Praha - Pronti Tetanu label - 1960s?
Super cool matchbox label from Czechoslovakia. Pretty intense colors. Nothing like taking a bike ride through a field of ketchup. Can anyone translate the text?

It means “Vaccination protects you against the tetanus”. So the red field is blood, not ketchup.
I think it is from 50’s.

I wrote dissertation on Czech design and in my research I found great visuals of matchboxes labels from Solo Lipnik from 1950-1970s
check: Eye magazine No.10 Autumn 1993 article: Czech matchbox labels form a miniature gallery of Czechoslovakian society under communism
and TYPO magazine No.12 2004
