vaccination, from the latin word vaccina (cow). because he used an extract from cow pustules, not human pustules as others had tried earlier. cowpox and smallpox are close enough related to cause crossimmunity, but cowpox can't infect humans.

How did the people from Chinese use the smallpox vaccine long time ago?

Who discovered vaccines and how?
There is a history of smallpox inoculation that goes back as far as 1000 AD in China, Africa, and Turkey. However, the person credited with creating the first vaccine is Edward Jenner, an English scientist who pioneered one for smallpox in 1796. His breakthrough came from taking pus from a blister of someone infected with cowpox and using it to inoculate another person, thus preventing smallpox in that person. He developed this treatment after hypothesizing that dairy workers were rarely, if ever, infected with the deadly smallpox virus because most of them were already infected with cowpox, which has a very mild effect on humans.
How was gold extracted in 1850 Australian gold rush?
Actually, the gold rush did not begin until 1851. Methods of extraction included panning, which was the most common method; cradling, which was introduced by Edward Hargarves after he saw the method used in California; puddling; and shaft mining.
What was the spanish method of settlement?
The Spanish method of settlement, known as the encomienda system, involved granting land and indigenous labor to Spanish conquistadors and settlers.

Who discovered the medicine for smallpox?
Smallpox has no "cure" per se, and the infected person can only be provided some general treatment to help the body fight off the infection. It's akin to "having the flu" and it is the body that must win the battle to get clear of the bug. Hit the link to the Wikipedia article. Smallpox has been around for literally thousands of years. And it has killed hundreds of millions of people throughout history. There is however a vaccination to prevent smallpox which was discovered by Edward Jenner. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallpox_vaccine
How do Louis Pasteur and Edward Jenner help us keep well?
Edward Jenner noticed a trend that farm maids who milked cows were oftentimes immune to smallpox. After some research, he identified that cowpox (caused by a cousin of the smallpox virus) infected the maids and was the cause of their immunity. Jenner then experimented with cowpox on a child (history is unclear on whether this was his son or a neighbor). When he later exposed the child to smallpox, nothing happened. Thus Dr. Edward Jenner developed a method to immunize people from smallpox (which was later named vaccination by the French). Louis Pasteur developed the process of pasteurization, a process of heating food to a specific temperature for a certain amount of time then cooling it immediately to kill off microorganisms (and slow their growth) in the food. Both these processes help to keep us safe from pathogens.
Why was Jenner's vaccine superior than other methods for conferring resistance to smallpox?
Jenner's method of using cowpox infection to confer immunity to smallpox was superior to earlier methods because it carried a significantly lowered risk of serious disease. The earlier method of using material from lesions of smallpox victims conferred immunity but at the risk of acquiring the potentially lethal disease.
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.
When was vaccination invented?
vaccine was invented by Edward Jenner on May 14, 1796
Who did Edward Jenner try out his idea on?
Edward Jenner tried his earliest vaccination attempts on a boy named James Phipps. After numerous injections of the cowpox virus, the boy recovered rapidly from exposure to smallpox. See the related link for more information
Why was there opposition to Jenner about vaccination and inoculation?
Actually smallpox inoculation had been done for more than 3000 years before Jenner in India and other places. It involved using pustules from a recovering smallpox victim to induce what was hoped to be a mild case of smallpox and immunity. However sometimes inoculation caused a full blown case of smallpox with all the scarring and occasionally death. But people were familiar with it and felt they understood its benefits and risks. Jenner introduced vaccination involving pustules from cows (in Latin vacca) with active cowpox. People were neither familiar or comfortable with this new method. Perhaps it might not produce immunity as effectively or long lasting as successful inoculation did. Might it produce unexpected side effects? Nobody (including Jenner) knew for certain and many rumors about vaccination began circulating.
