October 1922: A Historical Illustration of Queuing for Smallpox Vaccinations at Harrods during an Outbreak This evocative illustration depicts a significant moment in medical history, as female assistants from Harrods, a renowned London department store, take their turn to receive smallpox vaccinations during an outbreak in October 1922. The image, created by the Illustrated London News (ILN), captures the sense of unity and determination as these women bravely line up to protect themselves and their community from the infectious disease. Smallpox, a highly contagious viral disease, had long been a global health concern. Vaccination, the most effective means of prevention, involved the use of a live, weakened form of the virus, which was introduced into the skin to stimulate immunity. During outbreaks, mass vaccination campaigns were essential to contain the spread of the disease. The setting of this illustration, Harrods department store, adds an interesting layer to the scene. Harrods, known for its luxury goods and elegant atmosphere, was an unlikely venue for a mass vaccination event. However, the store's management recognized the importance of protecting their employees and the wider community. The female assistants, dressed in their uniforms, demonstrate the commitment of the store to the health and safety of its staff. The illustration also highlights the importance of community solidarity during times of crisis. The women, despite their individual concerns, come together to receive their vaccinations, demonstrating the power of collective action in the face of adversity. This historical image serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination of communities during outbreaks and the importance of vaccinations in protecting public health.
