Edward Jenner is generally credited with inventing the first vaccine against smallpox in 1796 using material from the blisters of cowpox, however the first paper published that mentioned the principle of using cowpox to prevent smallpox was filed by Dr Fewster in 1765, but he never pursued the idea.
