A satirical view of a vaccine institution. Patients are shown either in the process of receiving the vaccine or immediately after being vaccinated. In the center of the print a woman is shown sitting while a doctor gashes her arm with a knife. The patients who have already been administered the vaccine have cow parts or horns issuing from various parts of their bodies. On the back wall hangs a painting of a cow on a pedestal to which a group of kneeling people pay hommage.
