EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts a vaccination session taking place at the prestigious Academie de Medicine in Paris during the late 1890s. The Academie de Medicine, an esteemed institution in the heart of Paris, was a hub for medical innovation and progress during this era. In this image, we witness the inoculation of babies and children against smallpox, a common and deadly disease at the time. The vaccine used in this session was derived from a live calf, a method that had been in use since the late 18th century. The scene is filled with a sense of hope and determination as mothers bring their children forward to receive the life-saving inoculation. The medical professionals, dressed in their formal attire, administer the vaccine with precision and care, ensuring the safety and well-being of each child. The children, some crying and others looking on curiously, are held by their mothers or other caregivers, providing comfort and support during the brief procedure. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the importance of vaccinations and the role they play in protecting public health. The 1890s marked a significant period in the history of vaccinations, as advancements in technology and medical knowledge led to the development of more effective and safer vaccines. This session at the Academie de Medicine stands as a testament to the dedication and commitment of medical professionals during this time, who worked tirelessly to improve the health and well-being of their communities.
