Dr Edwina Jenner: immunologist
This resource aimed at 9-11 year olds, provides a video showing Edward Jenner's work on developing a vaccine for smallpox over 200 years ago. A follow-up activity explores how modern-day scientists make sure a new vaccine works and is safe. Children use what they have learned to complete a sorting activity, based on the work of a modern-day fictional Immunologist, 'Dr Edwina Jenner' in charge of testing a new vaccine. They then compare the ethics of modern vaccine trials with those of Dr Jenner’s time.
