Under the Skin: A Complicated History of Vaccine Confidence
Dr Jenner’s House, 2026 season

Dr Jenner's House is pleased to present Under the Skin, a new temporary exhibition exploring the complicated history of vaccine confidence, resistance and public trust. Blending art, science, and history, the exhibition traces debates around vaccination from Jenner’s cowpox vaccine to the present day, asking how fear, lived experience, misinformation, inequality and institutional trust have shaped public responses to vaccination.

Under the Skin invites visitors to look beyond simple divisions and consider what we can learn by listening to one another with curiosity and humanity.
