The story of vaccines did not begin with the first vaccine – Edward Jenner’s use of material from cowpox pustules to provide protection against smallpox. Rather, it begins with the long history of infectious disease in humans, and in particular, with early uses of smallpox material to provide immunity to that disease.
This video is part of a three-video series focused on the origin of vaccines, how they work, and their role in public health. These videos were produced in collaboration with high school students at San Francisco public schools and the University of California San Francisco (UCSF).
