On May 14, 1796, Jenner injected a "healthy" patient, an eight year old boy named James Phipps, with the cowpox virus. Later, he deliberately injected the boy with the smallpox virus. The patient did not succumb to smallpox, even after repeated injections. Jenner "treated" a total of thirteen patients using cowpox as a vaccine.

What particularly important achievement did Edward Jenner make?
He had discovered a cure for SMALLPOX which was called Smallpox vaccine... had tested the vaccination on a person called James Phipps .
How Edward Jenner found vaccination?
Observation and deductive reasoning. Smallpox was a scourge during Jenner's time, but he noticed that milkmaids contracted a very mild illness similar to smallpox called "cowpox", from which they recovered easily. He postulated that a tiny bit of the cowpox serum could be injected into a well person, and the mild cowpox might protect them from the deadly smallpox. It worked.
What was edward Jenner's prediction?
Well, Edward Jenner was my great great great great Uncle. He predicted that if you would inject the Cowpox virus into a person with smallpox, you would be amune to smallpox. His prediction was correct.
Why did Edward Jenner carry out his test on several people instead of on just one person?
Edward Jenner carried out his tests on multiple people because he needed more data to prove his theory on vaccination was correct. In medical science it is required to test on multiple people due to how different each person's body works to prove if a treatment works.
Who was the inventor of the vaccine against smallpox and concluded that a person inflicted with cowpox disease will not be inflicted anymore by smallpox?
An English doctor by the name of Edward Jenner. He noticed that milkmaids got cowpox which was similar to smallpox, but much milder, and after a milkmaid had had cowpox, she did not get smallpox. So Dr Jenner tried to scratch the skin of volunteers with a needle dipped in to cowpox germs. The volunteer got a transient mild illness and did not get smallpox after vaccination. When Dr Jenner's vaccine was shown to be so effective, vaccination against smallpox became compulsory. Smallpox is now almost entirely eradicated and most counties stopped making smallpox vaccination compulsory in the late 70s and early 80s.
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
Who discovered vaccination?
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).
