The History of Vaccines

From the College of Physicians of Philadelphia website is this this vaccine history that explores the role of immunization in the human experience and examines its continuing contribution to public health.

Smallpox, polio and diphtheria are just some of the diseases that permanently killed or injured millions of people before the vaccination and other public health measure brought them under control. Includes historical pictures, media-rich timelines, activities, articles and live interviews with researchers, (including Hillary Koprowski) and overviews of the polio vaccine trials in the United States, in Russia (10 million children) and the Belgian Congo.
