This oil painting has been made by Norman Rockell in 1958, no we can see it in Norman Rockell Museum in Stockbridge. It’s call « Before the shot » because it pictures a doctor who is going to vaccin a little boy. He had made 4 years after the first vaccin for poliomyélite to show that the science progress. It’s Jonas Salk, an american who found it.

On this painting we can see the doctor who is prepare the vaccin and the boy on the right, who is waiting the doctor, standing on a chair and starting remove his clothes. He is looking at a paper on the wall, it’s maybe the doctor’s graduate.We can think they are in the doctor’s office.
