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 man in military uniform carefully packing crates filled with glass negatives at the U.S. Army Medical School. The crates are labeled "Typhoid Vaccine," indicating the important role of this medical institution in the production and distribution of the typhoid vaccine during the war. Typhoid fever, a bacterial disease spread through contaminated water or food, was a major health concern for soldiers during this time. The development and mass production of the typhoid vaccine were crucial in preventing the spread of the disease among the troops. In this photograph, we see the process of packing and sending the vaccines to the front lines, ensuring they reached the soldiers in a timely and effective manner. The photograph was taken at the U.S. Army Medical School, likely located at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Washington D.C. The man in the photograph, with a hammer in hand, is possibly preparing the crates for secure transport. The image is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which documents various aspects of American life during the early 20th century. The photograph is a testament to the important role of medical research and development during times of war and the dedication of those involved in ensuring the health and safety of the troops.
