Edward Jenner saw how milkmaids didn't have smallpox because they had cowpox, and didn't die. So he gave a boy a dose of cowpox and he got ill, but didn't die and then he gave him a dose of small pox and he didn't die because he had had cow pox already. (phew!)

Some historians also say that inoculation of variola had already been made in ancient China.

How did Dr Edward Jenner discover a vaccine for smallpox?
He noticed, in his village where he was a doctor, that the dairymaids (woman who milk the cow) who had previously had Cowpox didn't get Smallpox. He got inspired by that and thought that they might have become immune to it. He also successfully tested this on a boy. One day Edward was studying a milk woman who was milking a cow when he noticed she had cow pox that you get from cows. Smallpox was very common in those days so he started to wonder why most milk woman had not caught it yet? So he decided to test it on someone . he found a little boy just 8 and a bit years old and he agreed to help him. He deliberately gave him cow pox and the boy was ill with cow pox but he got better quickly . next he gave him some pus out of a small pox boil to see if he caught it. The boy was fine and Edward had found the cure.
