Yellow fever vaccine production. Researcher Harry W. Burruss (1904-1999) in the 1940s with a fully-loaded desiccator being used to freeze-dry a yellow fever vaccine. Yellow fever is a tropical viral infection transmitted by mosquito bite. It causes fever, nausea, and headaches. A toxic form of the disease can lead to jaundice, internal bleeding, and death. An effective vaccine was developed in the late 1930s. Photographed in 1940 at the Yellow Fever Unit in the Rocky Mountain Laboratory, Hamilton, Montana, USA.
