Professor Wakefield said that even though the WHO was planning to destroy stocks of the smallpox vaccine, possibly in 2002, people shouldn't be concerned that there won't be any vaccine left. Syphilis, once very common, is currently at a low level in Australia. In the past, TB led to some of the great discoveries of modern medicine, including Laennec's discovery of the stethoscope, Koch's discovery of bacteria and Roentegen's application of x-rays to diagnose tuberculosis. The history of the great poxes should not be forgotten as we learn how to manage and prevent new threats to people's lives. The posters for the exhibition were designed with the assistance of Year 10 work experience students.
