The EcoTarium in Worcester aims to help educate visitors about COVID-19.
WORCESTER, Mass. — A Massachusetts science museum has opened an exhibit on a very topical subject – vaccines. Officials at the EcoTarium Museum of Science and Nature in Worcester hope that the exhibit that opened this week will play a part in educating visitors about the COVID-19 and other vaccines, The Telegram & Gazette reported. “Project Vaccine: Our Best Defense ” also highlights the work of those who participated in the vaccination campaign. The exhibit includes interactive videos featuring medical professionals explaining what vaccines are, as well as one that explains the role truck drivers, nurses, community organizers and clinical administrators have had in the vaccination effort. Another video accompanied by tactile models teaches about the five different types of vaccines – RNA, viral vector, live attenuated, inactivated and recombinant – and their uses, from the scientists who worked on them.
