Does smallpox vaccine come from cows?
The smallpox vaccine comes from cows. Most diseases you a weakened form of the disease. However the smallpox vaccine is brought from cowpox. (closely related to smallpox but not as dangerous). You cannot get this vaccine anymore and if you did it would result in a bad reaction.
What was a treatment for smallpox in the 1700s?
You would have to get a vaccine
What would be the most appropriate to paraphrase?
Events that led to Edward Jenner's discovery of the smallpox vaccine.(APEX)
Can you get a tattoo after anthrax vaccine?
I would wait at least a week after its fully healed. Any sooner or during the vaccination process and the fresh cuts from the new tattoo will cause a break out similar to the one near the vaccination site.
How was the smallpox vaccine invented?
Dr Edward Jenner injected small boy who had smallpox with cowpox, after hearing from a dairy maid that people who got cowpox would not get smallpox. This worked and that's how vaccination came about.
Why was edward Jenner given smallpox as a young man?
"When he was young he was given smallpox on purpose. It was hoped that, because he was so young and healthy, he would survive and so live to tell the tale if he caught smallpox when he was older."
An individual who played a huge role in smallpox vaccine?
Edward Jenner, an English physician, discovered the smallpox vaccine in 1796. He came upon this discovery by noticing that milkmaids who had the cowpox virus, a less threatening disease, did not catch the dangerous smallpox. Jenner then infected an 8-year-old boy with the cowpox. After six weeks, he exposed the boy to the smallpox disease and the boy did not show any smallpox related symptoms.Sone fun facts:-Jenner coined the term 'vaccine': 'vaca' means cow in Latin.-Before the vaccine, the death rate of the disease was up to 35%.
How did technology help treat smallpox?
Technology helped Smallpox because they invented the needle to cure it with, at least that's what my primary school teacher taught me!! Yeah i think they did invent the needle because a young boy was tried out with it first to see if it would work.

Can you get rid of the Smallpox?
Smallpox has been eradicated in the year 1977. Edward Jenner found a vaccine for the disease. Donald Henderson created ring immunization, which got rid of smallpox for good. Ring Immunization was the process of when an area had smallpox, everyone else in that area would get vaccinated... ---- I think that's how they got rid of smallpox. I'd check other sources if I were you like the CDC website.
What does a vaccine contain that causes the antibody to rise?
The body produces antibodies in response to the weakened antigens present in the vaccine. The whole point of a vaccine is to introduce a weaker illness that is similar to the full blown disease but usually less fatal. Sometimes the antigens aren't even active-- because the body detects the alien proteins and prepares the body's response based on the dead cells. The body responds by building the antibodies, which hopefully also work against the disease. For example, smallpox and cowpox are very similar, save the fact that cowpox is more dangerous for animals. So the cowpox vaccine was given to people, making them only mildly ill. This was particularly effective for children, for children were especially prone to dying from smallpox. At any rate, the cowpox would make them mildly ill, and they would recover, and have the antibodies to fight off smallpox.
Why do we no longer vaccinate for smallpox?
Through vaccination, smallpox was wiped out by the 1970s. Today it exists only preserved in a few labs. The likelihood of somehow coming into contact with the disease is now so low, the vaccine would be much more likely to hurt you than the disease is.
