EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Army, U.S. Army Medical School; Typhoid Vaccine, 1917," captures a significant moment in medical history during the First World War. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, depicts a laboratory worker in full protective gear administering a typhoid vaccine to a soldier. The scene takes place at the U.S. Army Medical School, where researchers and medical personnel were working tirelessly to develop and distribute vaccines and treatments to prevent the spread of diseases among the troops. The laboratory worker, dressed in a long-sleeved white coat and protective gloves, holds a glass vial filled with the typhoid vaccine. The soldier, wearing a military hat and uniform, rolls up his sleeve, revealing a bandaged arm. In the background, various laboratory equipment and glass negatives can be seen, adding to the scientific atmosphere of the scene. The administration of the typhoid vaccine was a crucial part of the military's efforts to keep their troops healthy during the war. Typhoid fever was a common disease at the time, spread through contaminated water and food. The vaccine, which was developed by Dr. Walter Reed and his team, was a major breakthrough in preventing the disease and saving countless lives. This photograph is an important reminder of the critical role that medical research and innovation played during the First World War, particularly in the context of the home front. It also highlights the bravery and dedication of the men and women who worked in laboratories and medical facilities to ensure the health and wellbeing of the troops. The photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress.
