"History of Vaccines" website launched

The College of Physicians of Philadelphia recently launched "The History of Vaccines," an interactive website exploring the history of vaccination from Edward Jenner's smallpox vaccine to the present.

The site provides a remarkable amount of information on historical and contemporary debates in vaccination policy. It also highlights many of the scientists and research achievements that have contributed to the development of vaccines in the 20th and 21st centuries.

In addition to original articles, the site includes historical images, multimedia features, and interactive graphics that explore topics in vaccination science and policy.
