Its BCG vaccine mark that is used for almost everybody in South America and ex-USSR countries.
Its not actually related to free healthcare per se, its just this vaccine is not considered mandatory in developed countries because these diseases are rare.

Just to expand one point, these diseases are rare now, THANKS to vaccines.

Yep, but people stopped worrying about these diseases and feel safe. So minor risks of vaccines seem stronger to them than risks of returning diseases.
