History of Vaccines

The History of Vaccines explores the role of immunization in the human experience and examines its continuing contributions to public health

How Vaccines Work

In this simulation, students learn about the human immune system's response to vaccination. After viewing the simulation, they demonstrate what they learned by sequencing and labeling the steps in the process.

The Scientific Method

This activity immerses students in a disease outbreak. They apply the scientific method in an epidemiological setting to pinpoint the source of the illness.

Timelines

Multimedia timelines on disease and vaccines, immunization pioneers, scientific breakthroughs, and social issues show the sweeping history of vaccination.
