The image showcases a free vaccination clinic that was set up on-site, offering an invaluable opportunity for Parisians to protect themselves against the dreaded Smallpox. In this extraordinary scene, we see Heffer, a cow with a shaven portion of her flank infected with Cowpox - an ingenious method used during those times to produce immunity against Smallpox. With utmost precision and care, serum is being transferred from Heffer's flank using a stylus onto the waiting arms of eager Parisians. This groundbreaking technique symbolizes the intersection between medicine and public health.
