History of Vaccines online resource

The College of Physicians of Philadelphia created the History of Vaccines webiste. It contains timelines, articles (citations), and a gallery (videos & images; Pre-1700-Present). The bibliographies include many scholarly articles, as well as other sources, covering vaccine science, societal & cultural aspects (ethics, anti-vaccine movement, etc.), common questions, diseases and etc. This may be a good web source for students in the Comm courses, for their informational or persuasive speech projects (vaccination/immunization is a hot topic). Also, it is a timely site. Have you noticed all the vaccine related advertising in the subways?
