EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1905 showcases a free vaccination clinic taking place on the premises of a French newspaper, Le Petit Journal. In the image, a heifer with a shaven portion of its flank infected with Cowpox is being used to transfer serum to the arms of waiting Parisians in order to provide immunity against Smallpox. The scene captures an important moment in medical history, highlighting the innovative method of using cowpox as a preventive measure against smallpox. The use of a stylus to transfer the serum from the heifer's flank to human arms demonstrates early techniques in immunisation and disease prevention. The image not only serves as a reminder of the advancements made in public health during this time period but also sheds light on the dedication and commitment of healthcare professionals working towards eradicating deadly diseases. As we reflect on this historical photograph, we are reminded of the importance of vaccinations and how they have played a crucial role in improving global health outcomes. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance in combating infectious diseases for the greater good.
