The Maplewood Public Health Division, in conjunction with SOMA Two Towns For All Ages and local artist, Joy Yagid created a mini-documentary with local senior residents, entitled, “A Time Before Vaccinations”.

It captures the personal stories of local senior residents, growing up in a time before vaccines. The stories resonate especially now, with our current experiences of shutdowns and quarantines. Our seniors are a testament that communitywide social distancing works against communicable diseases like polio and measles before there was a vaccine.
