Vaccines have a history that stretches back over 1,000 years, with major scientific breakthroughs emerging in the 1800s and continuing to shape public health today.
Members of the Case Western Reserve University community are invited to join Siegal Lifelong Learning Program for its upcoming “Vaccines: Before Edward Jenner to RFK Jr. and Beyond” course.
During this class—taught by CWRU School of Medicine alumnus and Cleveland Clinic pulmonologist David V. Skirball—students will explore various types of vaccines, their uses and societal impacts through the lens of the diseases they target.
Courses will be held Wednesdays, Sept. 10 through Oct. 8, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.
