The great vaccine debate
This activity supports learning in science and history, using the context of Dr Edward Jenner’s work on developing a vaccine for Smallpox.
Using a wide range of secondary sources of information children find out about different people’s views on vaccination in the early 1880’s. Using this information they can then role-play the Parliamentary debate about vaccination that took place in 1802.
This resource has been provided by ASE as part of the ‘Why You’ll Never Catch Smallpox’ resource.
