EDITORS COMMENTS
Diphtheria Strikes Unprotected Children: Protect Your Child with Toxoid - A Powerful Weapon against Diphtheria, Chicago Department of Health, 1936-1941. This powerful and evocative poster, produced by the Chicago Department of Health between 1936 and 1941, serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of diphtheria on unprotected children. The image depicts a flying disc of Toxoid, the diphtheria toxoid vaccine, shielding a vulnerable child from a lightning bolt, symbolizing the disease. Diphtheria is a bacterial infection that causes a thick coating to form in the throat, making it difficult to breathe and swallow. It can be fatal if left untreated. The discovery of the diphtheria toxoid, a protein derived from the toxin produced by the bacteria, revolutionized the prevention and treatment of the disease. The toxoid was used to develop a vaccine that could provide immunity to diphtheria. The Progressive-era Chicago Department of Health, in collaboration with the Works Progress Administration (WPA), produced posters like this one to raise awareness about public health issues and promote preventative measures. This particular poster effectively conveys the urgency of protecting children from diphtheria through vaccination. The use of a simple yet impactful image, combined with a clear and concise message, makes this poster an effective tool in the fight against this once-deadly disease. Today, diphtheria is rare in the United States due to widespread vaccination. However, it remains a significant health concern in other parts of the world, highlighting the importance of continued efforts to ensure access to vaccines and education about their benefits.
