The Vaccine Makers Project (VMP) was originally produced by Medical History Pictures and sponsored by the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (VEC). This program has evolved to become the classroom-based brand of the VEC. The project aims to educate students about how the immune system works, how diseases develop, and how vaccines work to prevent them. The materials also include activities and resources that introduce the scientific method, help students understand how science works, and equip them to critically evaluate the multitude of science-based topics central to how we live on and interact with this planet. Only when people understand and consider the scientific underpinnings of relevant topics can we expect that they will be equipped to make informed and logical decisions.
