“NHS Baby Vaccination from the 50s is based on a photo of some of the earliest childhood vaccinations delivered by the NHS. For me, this represents a valuable piece of British history, one I feel drawn to engage with, not least because the NHS is such a defining part of public life. Coming from a family of doctors, I have a particular interest in medical measures that prevent disease, such as vaccination. The subject resonates strongly with me, and there is a quiet pleasure in encountering an image that captures this early moment in the NHS’s commitment to public health.”
