Artifact

Certificat de vaccination

Description

  • Lettre certifiant que E.E. Kells a été vacciné contre la variole et inoculé contre la peste bubonique.

Background Information

  • Le foreur international Ernest Kells a travaillé en Perse (Iran moderne) de 1922 à 1931.  
  • Un autre foreur, Eldon Fournie, devait être vacciné à bord d'un navire à destination de l'Amérique du Sud, mais il était si méfiant à l'égard du médecin qu'il a jeté les fioles par-dessus bord et a décidé qu'il préférait courir le risque de contracter une maladie tropicale plutôt que de faire confiance au médecin.
