content: A print of a 1963 photograph documenting Jeryl Lynn Hilleman, sick with a case of the mumps. Jeryl Lynn's father, Dr. Maurice R.

The pharmaceutical company Merck Sharp & Dohme widely distributed this photograph as part of their press release and promotion for the Mumpsvax vaccine. This photograph has handwritten notations on the back.
