EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in 1962, this poignant print takes us back to a time when smallpox outbreaks were a cause for concern. At the Halton Road divisional health centre in Runcorn, a baby is being vaccinated, its expression reflecting both dismay and curiosity. The nurse by its side quickly reassures the little one, providing comfort during this necessary medical procedure. The significance of this moment is underscored by the fact that over 500 people had already visited the clinic for their smallpox vaccination due to the recent outbreak. This image serves as a reminder of how diseases can spread rapidly and how crucial preventative measures are in safeguarding public health. In an era where medicine was advancing but still limited compared to today's standards, vaccinations played a vital role in disease prevention. The sight of people queuing up at the clinic reflects their determination to protect themselves and their loved ones from potential harm. This photograph captures not only fear and suspicion but also hope and resilience. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and our ability to confront challenges head-on through science and medicine. Taken by D A Wright on January 29th, 1962, this snapshot transports us back in time while reminding us of the importance of vaccinations even today.
