The History of Vaccination
Come on a journey of the history of vaccination. Discover how the first attempt at vaccination was brought into UK society by an 18th Century female aristocrat, how doctors used condemned prisoners to test the theory and how George III’s young son died after undergoing the procedure. Hear about the country doctor who unlocked the key to smallpox by taking an interest in his milkmaids (purely scientific of course!) along with a little help from Blossom the cow. An entertaining and often thought provoking look at how we are protected today from diseases which routinely killed our forebears.
