In 1901, Dr. Allan Warner of Leicester Isolation Hospital took a photograph that would change how the world saw disease.

It showed two 13-year-old boys — both infected with smallpox on the very same day.
At first glance, they looked alike: young, pale, frightened.
But the course of their illness told two entirely different stories.

One boy had been vaccinated as an infant.
The other had not.

The difference is brutal and unmistakable.
The unvaccinated child’s body is covered in swollen, pus-filled lesions.
The vaccinated child shows only a few faint spots — mild, quickly healed, almost serene by comparison.

Dr. Warner published the image in The Atlas of Clinical Medicine, Surgery, and Pathology and used it to teach doctors and the public what science had already proven:
Vaccination didn’t just lessen illness — it spared lives.

That single photograph became one of medicine’s earliest visual arguments for prevention over fear.
It captured, in two faces, the cost of doubt and the power of protection.

And more than a century later, its message hasn’t aged a day:
Vaccines don’t just change statistics — they change fates.

🔴Have an appointment that you can no longer attend or cannot remember when it is?

Choosing option 2 when calling from a phone number we have on your records will take you straight through to the check and cancel service which will confirm the date and time of your appointment, giving you the option to cancel if you are no longer able to attend.

📱 Appointments can also be checked and cancelled via the NHS App

By cancelling your appointment in plenty of time enables us to offer this to another patient. Please cancel rather than just not turning up

Thank you

☎️ We recognise that not everyone has access to the NHS App or our website, please let anyone you know who falls into this that they can choose option 1 when calling as this takes patients to telephone assist to complete a Patchs form, there's never a queue through telephone assist. It will ask all the same questions and saves your replies for the GP to triage.
