In 1796, he injected an 8 year old boy with cowpox, a less lethal form of the small pox. This created an immunization to smallpox and was coined the first vaccination.
Edward Jenner did not discover germs, he developed vaccination for smallpox (using cowpox pustules) which was much safer than the inoculation for smallpox (using smallpox pustules) then in use. However he had no idea what actually caused smallpox, only that it was something invisible in the pus from the pustules.
the year was in 1796.

Edward Anthony Jenner (17 May 1749 - 26 January 1823) was an English scientist who is widely credited as the pioneer of smallpox vaccine, and is sometimes referred to as the "Father of Immunology".
Edward Jenner developed vaccine against smallpox in 1798. He used cowpox virus containing fluid for the same.
Edward Jenner perfected the smallpox vaccine. Smallpox was very widespread and killed many people per year. Jenner is often called, "The Father of Immunology" and he is credited for saving more lives than any other man.
Edward Jenner conducted his famous smallpox vaccination experiment on an 8-year-old boy named James Phipps in 1796. Jenner inoculated Phipps with cowpox to demonstrate that it would protect him from smallpox. This landmark experiment laid the foundation for modern immunology and the development of vaccines.
In 1718, Lady Mary Wortley Montague reported that the Turks have a habit of deliberately inoculating themselves with fluid taken from mild cases of smallpox and she inoculated her own children.Before Edward Jenner tested the possibility of using the cowpox vaccine as an immunisation for smallpox in humans in 1796 for the first time, at least six people had done the same several years earlier. In 1796 Edward Jenner inoculated using cowpox (a mild relative of the deadly smallpox virus).

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%.
Edward Jenner's first patient was James Phipps, an eight-year-old boy. In 1796, Jenner inoculated Phipps with material taken from a cowpox sore, which led to the development of the smallpox vaccination. This landmark experiment laid the foundation for immunology and the eventual eradication of smallpox.
He inoculated an 8 year old boy by introducing infection from a cow into his system. The boy developed a slight fever but was not seriously ill. Jenner then injected him with material containing the disease and no illness followed.
